A NMOS cascode amplifier with active load is shown in Fig. P3.23. It is realized using the 0.35-μm CMOS devices in Table 1.5 with , , , and .

a. Estimate the small-signal gain, , and output resistance.

b. What is the total power consumption of the circuit?

c. Estimate the range of output voltages over which all transistors will remain in active mode.
