#### Circuit Diagram Description

The image depicts an electronic circuit consisting of three transistors labeled \( Q_1 \), \( Q_2 \), and \( Q_3 \). The circuit is powered by a voltage source \( V_{DD} \). Below is a detailed breakdown of the circuit:

- **Transistor \( Q_3 \)** connects to the positive supply \( V_{DD} \) and is configured to control current \( I_{REF} \).
- **Transistor \( Q_2 \)** connects in series with \( Q_3 \) and affects the output current \( I_D \), which flows towards the output voltage \( V_O \).
- **Transistor \( Q_1 \)** is connected to the ground and influences the input voltage \( V_I \).
- The circuit includes two labeled voltages, \( V_{SGP} \) and \( V_I \), for controlling the operation of the transistors.

#### Assumed Process Parameters

- \( V_{DD} = 3.3V \)
- Threshold voltages \( V_{tn} = |V_{tp}| = 0.5V \)
- Electron mobility parameter \( k_n' = 5 \, \text{mA}/\text{V}^2 \)
- Hole mobility parameter \( k_p' = 3.2 \, \text{mA}/\text{V}^2 \)

These parameters are essential for designing and analyzing the performance of the circuit, as they influence transistor switching and amplification characteristics.
