Reading assignment and no lecture next week

Please note that there will be no lecture next week since I will be travelling. The paper exercise on Monday will be held as usual.

However, please read and understand chapter 7.3 in the book. As an advanced (!) test case to check your knowledge, do a small signal analysis of an inverter with the typical values for a 0.35um CMOS process given in lab 2 with W=L=1um for both PFET and NFET. Assume that the uCox of the PFET is 60% of the NFET but all other parameters are the same. Where will be the point of operation be if you use the inverter as inverting amplifier? What will be its gain and output resistance?
