Hello Professor Boris Murmann, may I ask if extracting output driving resistance can be done using no-load delay/(0.69 * Cself load)?

b
For a logic gate? Note that the calculation finds an equivalent resistance that makes the RC delay model work. The output of a logic gate looks more like a current source that a resistor.
z
Yes, what I mean is to calculate the equivalent resistance that makes the RC delay model work,Is the above method feasible?
What I want to ask is whether the extraction of driving resistance in question 4 of HW8 is done using this method
b
Yes.

Thank you for your answer. I have also read your gm/id book and I have a question. When sizing the transmission gate, the VDS of the transmission gate will change. Would using VDS=0 to search for Ro make the actual Ro greater than the Ro found in the lookup table?
b
Why would VDS change? Ro is defined for VDS=0.
z
For example, at the beginning, if the voltage on the capacitor is 0 and VIN is 0.5, the capacitor will be charged to 0.5, and during this process, VDS will change
b
You are not understanding the approximation being made in switch modeling. The switch is modeled by its small signal equivalent in steady state.
z
I think the meaning of steady state refers to the Ro during the period when VOUT approaches VIN and VDS is very small?
