Which of the following possesses a CISC architecture? a) MC68020 b) ARC C) Atmel AVR d) Blackfin

3. From an old quiz. Regions of operation are very important in circuit design using MOSFETS. Extracted from an old quiz. bias conditions, state whether the FET is operating in the OHMIC (TRIODE) region, SATURATION region, or CUTOFF region. Explain your reasoning. For the indicated Assume that |VT | 2 volts for both the NMOS and PMOS enhancement mode transistors. M1 M2 M3 М4 M5 M6 M1 M2 M3 VGS +3 & VDS +6 vGS = +1 & VDS = +8 VGS =-1 & VDS = -6 M4 M5 VGS = +6 & VDS = +2 VGS = -3 & VDS = -6 VGS = -3 & VDS = +6

Text Problems 4.4 and 4.8 for NMOS and Text Problem 4.47 for PMOS Some additional basic calculations to provide experience in units and nomenclature. Organize your results in a table. Page 160 (NMOS) and 161 (PMOS) has a table defining the relationships for key FET model parameters.

VLSI Wafer Yield  Given the defect density D= and chip area A, use Murphy's yield model to estimate the chip yield. Calculate for D=0.5 defects/cm2 D=0.5 defects/cm2 and A=1.5 cm2 A=1.5 cm2.
