Consider the NMOS circuit in Figure P16.22. The transistor parameters are \((W / L)_{X}=(W / L)_{Y}=12,(W / L)_{L}=1\), and \(V_{T N}=0.4 \mathrm{~V}\). Neglect the body effect.

(a) Determine \(v_{O}\) when \(v_{X}=v_{Y}=2.9 \mathrm{~V}\).

(b) What are the values of \(v_{G S X}, v_{G S Y}, v_{D S X}\), and \(v_{D S Y}\) ? [Hint: Set the drain current in each device equal to each other. Also, neglect the terms \(v_{O}^{2}, v_{D S X}^{2}\), and \(\left.v_{D S Y}^{2}\right]\).
