1. Consider the circuit of Figure. The capacitors are very large, so they discharge only a very small amount per cycle. Sketch the voltage at point A versus time. Find the voltage across the load. Why is this called a voltage doubler? What is the peak inverse voltage across each diode? (10 points)
2. Two points in the saturation region of a certain NMOS transistor are (vGS = 2 V, iD = 0.2mA) and (vGS = 3 V, iD = 1.8 mA). Determine the values of Vto and K for this transistor. (10 points)

9. Draw the circuit diagram of a two-input CMOS AND gate. (Hint: Use a two-input NAND followed by an inverter.) (10 points)
10. Find VDSQ and IDQ for the FET shown in Figure, given Vto = 3 V and K = 0.5 mA/V2. Find the value of gm at the operating point. Draw the small-signal equivalent circuit, assuming that rd = ∞.
