6) Consider the circuit shown above right. Here, you will use the following NMOS and PMOS
models. You can import them into LTSpice or your favorite SPICE simulator. One helpful link
regarding LTSpice is provided below. Sizes are in micrometers.

Incorporation of the models into LTSPICE: http://www.linear.com/solutions/1083
a. Determine W2 such that an input DC level of 0.75 V yields an output DC level of 1 V.
What is the low-frequency voltage gain under these conditions? Use AC analysis in
SPICE to view the gain vs. frequency response of the amplifier.
b. What is the change in the gain if the width and length of NMOS and PMOS devices varies
by ± 10% individually? Which one is the most sensitive?
c. Establish a simulation setup to simulate the output resistance of the amplifier. What is
the simulated value of the output resistance?
