Device Sizes
M1: select (W/L)1 = 200/2 to meet specified gm1 = 1 mS find VBIAS = 1.2 V
Cascode current supply devices: select VSG = 1.5 V(W/L)4= (W/L)4B= (W/L)3= (W/L)3B = 64/2
M2: select (W/L)2 = 50/2 to meet specified Rout =10 MΩ find VGS2 = 1.4 V
Match M2 with diode-connected device M2B.
Assuming perfect matching and zero input voltage,what is VOUT?
