logic function OUT IN1 IN2 IN3 Express OUT as a function of IN1 IN2 and IN3 in the form of a truth table Also implement this logic function using logic symbols and using a small number of n channel MOSFETs and pull up resistors Exercise 4 2 In the circuit shown below an inverter is loaded with a resistor The load resistor models possible leakage along the data path from the inverter to subsequent gates Its resistance is known to satisfy 1 M RL In the presence of this partially known load the inverter must satisfy the static discipline de ned by vOL 0 5 V vIL 1 0 V vIH 1 5 V and vOH 2 0 V Assume that the MOSFET behaves like a switch having threshold voltage VT and on state resistance RON Over what voltage range must VT be designed and at what values must RPU and RON be designed so that the inverter dissipates minimum power while obeying the desired static discipline in the presence of uncertainty in RL RPU 2 5 V RL vIN vOUT Problem 4 1 Following the node method develop a set of simultaneous equations for the network shown below that can be solved to determine the unknown node voltages e1 e2 and e3 Express the set of equations in the form e1 G e2 S e3 where G is a 3 3 matrix of conductance terms and S is a 3 1 vector of terms involving the independent sources You need not solve the set of equations for the node voltages Note that e4 is not included in the analysis because it is directly sourced by the dependent voltage source from ground and the source voltage can be expressed in terms of the rst three node voltages In this sense it is treated like an independent voltage source Nonetheless state how e4 can be determined from e1 e2 and e3 once the latter node voltages are determined e1 e2 i1 R3 i2 R2 R6 I e3 i1 e4 R4 R1 R5 V Ri2 Problem 4 2
