Homework 3
Due at the beginning of your scheduled lab period
Printed copies of these pages along with your original (hand-annotated, not photocopied) written
solution in the space provided (unless otherwise indicated) are required in order to receive credit. NOTE:
The purpose of homework is to provide an opportunity for practicing the kinds of problems you will be
asked to solve on quizzes and exams – copying the work of someone else does not accomplish this.
1. [8 pts] Assume two logic families have the following D.C. characteristics:

Problem 1, continued…
(b) [2 pts] Draw the circuit and calculate the value of the current limiting resistor
for a Type “A” gate driving an LED to the maximum brightness possible in a
current sourcing configuration. Assume VLED is 1.5V. (LO 1-21)
(c) [2 pts] Draw the circuit and calculate the value of the current limiting resistor
for a Type “B” gate driving an LED to the maximum brightness possible in a
current sinking configuration. Assume VLED is 1.5V. (LO 1-21)

2. [8 pts] Given that a (5-volt) CMOS gate’s P-channel pull-up has an “on” resistance of
60 and that its N-channel pull-down has an “on” resistance of 30 :
(a) [2 pts] If the desired VOHmin is 4.6 volts and the desired VOLmax is 0.25 volts, what
are the gate’s IOHmax and IOLmax ratings? (LO 1-19)
(b) [2 pts] If a DCNM of 1.5 volts is desired for this CMOS gate family, what do its
VIHmin and VILmax specifications need to be, based on the values given in part (a)?
(LO 1-14)
(c) [1 pt] If the IIH and IIL specifications for gates in this family are +0.1 mA and -0.1
mA, respectively, what is the practical fan-out for circuits constructed using these
gates, based on values calculated in part (a)? (LO 1-20)
(d) [3 pts] Show how an LED (forward voltage VLED = 1.5 V) should be interfaced to
gates in this family to obtain maximum brightness, and calculate the value of the
current limiting resistor required along with its power dissipation. (LO 1-21)
