(b) Consider a CMOS inverter circuit with supply voltage VDD = 3.3 V. The 10
I-V characteristics of the nMOS transistor are specified as follows:
when Vcs = 3.3 V, the drain current reaches its saturation level Isar = 2
mA for VDS > 2.5 V. Assume that the input signal applied to the gate is a
step pulse that switches instantaneously from 0 V to 3.3 V. Using the
data above, calculate the delay time necessary for the output to fall
from its initial value of 3.3 V to 1.65 V, assuming an output load
capacitance of 1pF. Ignore the body effect for all the transistors.
