Question

Consider the three-input NOR logic gate in Figure. The transistor parameters are V_TNL = -1 V and V_TND = 0.5 V. The maximum value of v_O in its low state is to be 0.1 V.

(a) Determine K _D/K_L .

(b) The maximum power dissipation in the NOR logic gate is to be 0.1 mW. Determine the width-to-length ratios of the transistors.

(c) Determine v_O when v_X = v_Y = v_Z = 3 V.
