*17.23 Consider the two-input CMOS NOR gate of Fig. 16.7 whose transistors are properly sized so that the current-driving capability in each direction is equal to that of a matched inverter. For |Vt| = 0.35 V and VDD = 1.0 V, find the gate threshold in the cases for which (a) input terminal A is connected to ground and (b) the two input terminals are tied together. Neglect the body effect in QPB.
(a) 0.54 V (b) 0.47 V
