Question: 6 . A many - input OR gate as shown in Fig. ( a ) is usually implemented by a pseud - nMOS NOR gate

6. A many-input OR gate as shown in Fig.(a) is usually implemented by a pseud-nMOS NOR gate A followed by a CMOS inverter B as Fig.(b). The voltage division ratio of the pseudo-nMOS is set to \(4: 1\) then the characteristic curves of the pseudonMOS and CMOS gates can be approximated as Fig. (c) and (d) respectively. Based on the maximum-static-noise-margin (SNM) and minimum-area criteria, decide the transistor sizes of the two primitive gates A and B.
