Consider the circuit below consisting of diode-connected NMOS transistors. Assume K' = 100 µA / V2 and VT= 0.5 V. Note our class notation where we defined K = K' (W/L) for an NMOS transistor. 

Assume K' = 100 µA / V² and Vr= 0.5 V. Note our class notation where we defined
K = K' (W/L) for an NMOS transistor.
(a) Prove that a diode connected NMOS always operates in the saturation region if it is ON.
(b) Given the current and voltage values below, find the (W/L) values for each transistor.
(c) Why is connecting the drain of an NMOS to its gate terminal called "diode-connected"?
