Q1. Nmos design and working
Ans. 
NMOS (N-channel Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) is a type of MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) that uses n-type semiconductor for the channel.
• NMOS transistors are used in digital and analog circuits for switching and amplification.

• In NMOS design, the gate is made of metal, the insulator is made of oxide, and the semiconductor is n-type.

• NMOS transistors operate by applying a voltage to the gate termi...read more

Q2. CMOS circuit and design along with VTC characteristics
Ans. 
CMOS circuits are widely used in integrated circuits for their low power consumption and high noise immunity. VTC characteristics show the relationship between input and output voltage.
• CMOS circuits consist of complementary pairs of p-type and n-type MOSFETs, allowing for low power consumption and high noise immunity.

• VTC (Voltage Transfer Characteristic) shows the relationship between input and output voltage in a CMOS...read more

Q3. Rc network with constant current source
Ans. 
An RC network with a constant current source is used to create a voltage output that is proportional to the input current.
• RC network consists of a resistor (R) and a capacitor (C) connected in series or parallel.

• Constant current source ensures a steady current flows through the network.

• The voltage output across the RC network is determined by the time constant (RC) and the input current.

• This configuration is commonly u
