In the NOR gate of let VDD 5 5 V, and let the FETs be matched devices with Vt 5 1 V and k 5 100 A/V2 . (a) Assuming 5 0, sketch and label the VTC, and fi nd Vm, NML, and NMH for the case in which A and B are tied together to confi gure the NOR gate for operation as an inverter. (b) Compare with the basic inverter, and justify any differences. Hint: recall that two identical FETs connected in parallel act like a single equivalent FET with keq 5 2k.
