Pull-Up and Pull-Down Ratio in nMOS Inverter nMOS Inverter Overview In an nMOS inverter, the nMOS transistor acts as the pull-down device, while a load device (resistor or depletion nMOS) acts as the pull-up network. Pull-Down Network The nMOS transistor is the pull-down device It pulls the output to 0 (GND) when ON Pull-Up Network The load device pulls the output to VDD when input is LOW It provides a weak logic HIGH Pull-Up Ratio (PU Ratio) Defined as: Pull-up ratio = βL / βN Where: βL = transconductance parameter of load device βN = transconductance parameter of nMOS pull-down transistor Meaning: Measures strength of pull-up compared to pull-down. Pull-Down Ratio (PDR) Defined as: Pull-down ratio = βN / βL Meaning: Measures strength of pull-down compared to pull-up. ...

  Absolute Potential In electrostatics, absolute potential (also called electric potential at a point ) is the amount of work done per unit positive charge in bringing a test charge from infinity to that point without acceleration. Definition V = W / q Where: V = absolute potential (volts) W = work done in bringing the charge (joules) q = test charge (coulombs) For a point charge Q , the absolute potential at distance r is: V = (1 / 4πε₀) × (Q / r) Here: Q = source charge r = distance from the charge ε₀ = permittivity of free space 1 / 4πε₀ = 9 × 10⁹ So we usually write: V = (9 × 10⁹ × Q) / r Important Points Potential is a scalar quantity . Unit: Volt (V) . At infinity, potential is taken as zero . Positive charge gives positive potential; negative charge gives negative potential. Exampl...

  Core Diameter of Single-Mode and Multimode Fiber The core diameter of an optical fiber determines how light travels through it and whether the fiber is single-mode or multimode . 1. Single-Mode Fiber (SMF) A single-mode fiber allows only one propagation mode of light. Typical Core Diameter 8 μm to 10 μm (Common standard: 9 μm) Condition for Single Mode A fiber behaves as single-mode when the normalized frequency (V-number) satisfies: V = (2πa / λ) × NA < 2.405 Where: a = core radius λ = wavelength NA = numerical aperture Since core diameter d = 2a: d = (2Vλ) / (2πNA) For cutoff condition V = 2.405: d = [2 × 2.405 × λ] / (2π × NA) This formula helps calculate the maximum core diameter for single-mode operation. 2. Multimode Fiber (MMF) ...

BER vs Eb/N0 Simulation Modulation: M-ary PSK M-ary QAM (Square) ASK (Binary/OOK) FSK (Binary Coherent) M (Order): 2 (BPSK) 4 (QPSK) 8-PSK/QAM 16-PSK/QAM 64-PSK/QAM Eb/N0 Range (dB) [start:step:end]: *Changes update the plot in real-time. Mathematical Background The Bit Error Rate (BER) is the probability that a bit is misidentified due to noise. We plot this against $E_b/N_0$ (Energy per bit to noise power spectral density ratio). 1. Energy Conversion For M-ary modulations, each symbol carries $k = \log_2(M)$ bits. The Symbol Energy ($E_s$) relates to Bit Energy ($E_b$) as: E s /N 0 = (E b /N 0 ) × log 2 (M) 2. The Complementary Error Function Errors in Gaussian noise (AWGN) are calculated using the erfc(x) function. It is related to the Q-function by: Q(x) = ½ erfc(x/√2) . 3. Modulation Formulas M-ary PSK: BER ≈ (1 / log...
