11. In Fig. 26.16 can’t we remove the phi2 switches on the bottom of C2 for better operation?

12. I tried to hand calculate the values in Table 9.2 using the short channel equations...

13. I had a quick question on deriving voltage gain on common-source amp with source degeneration.

14. Are the PMOS loads in Fig. 24.21 called "composite cascodes?"

15. What does "feature size" mean?
