Problem sets

• Homework 1 (Postscript)
  Note for Problem 1: Nox = 2*10^^10 cm-2, multiply by q to obtain Qox.
  Note for Problem 2: (W/L) = 1 is RATIO. You can assume Lambda = 0 for all handcalculations in this problem.
• Homework 2 (Postscript)
  Another view to the same Layout (Postscript)
• Homework 3 (Postscript)
• Homework 4 (Postscript)
• Homework 5 (Postscript)
  Errata to the book, Euler Graphs, page 267, Figure C.4.(a): For the PMOS Pull-Up-Network, switch the A and B input. This makes it consistent with the other figures.
• Homework 6 (Postscript)
  Problem 3.b.: R1.C1 = R2.C2 = R2.C1 = 1 ns. Deduct close form equations for V1(t), V2(t). DO NOT SOLVE.
  Problem 3.c.: Find t with Elmore Delay (which is an approximation). The TA will show the difference with the exact solution in the recitation session.
