Q- The PMOS transistor in the figure below has VTP = -0.5V. As the gate voltage vG is varied from +2.5 V to 0 V, the transistor moves through all of its three possible modes of operation. Specify the value of vG at which the device changes modes of operation.
Q- All the transistors in the circuits shown in the figure below have the same values of |VT|, k', W/L, and A. Moreover, A is negligibly small. All operate in saturation at ID = 1 and |VGS| = |VDS| = 3 V.
(a) Find the voltages V1, V2, V3, and V4.
(b) If |VT| = 1 V and 1 = 2 mA, how large a resistor can be inserted in series with each drain connection while maintaining saturation?
(c) If the current source 1 requires at least 2 V between its terminal to operate properly, what is the largest resistor that can be placed in series with each MOSFET source while ensuring saturated-mode operation of each transistor at ID = 1? In this limiting situation, what do VI, V2, V3, and V4 become?
