Question

The above is a representation of the wiring of a transistor in a digital application. Many of these transistors are to be used in the design of a microprocessor. The processor is to be used in an embedded application so it does not have to be fast by today's standards, but does have to run at 100MHz. A different team worked on the processor design and told you that in order to achieve 100MHz, the transistors must be able to switch within 4ns. You are given the task of selecting a transistor manufacturing method. In order for the transistor to register as "ON", Vo must be 3.5V. In order to register as "OFF" Vo must be 0.5V. When the switch at G is close, it acts like a 100 Ohm resistor. When it is open, it acts like a 100G Ohm resistor. Will this transistor meet the requirements, i.e., will Vo rise from the "OFF" steady state to 3.5 V in less than 4ns and will it fall from the "ON" steady state to 0.5 V in 4ns? If not, what can be done to change this so that it would? Will changing the 1k Ohm resister work?
