Consider the series of CMOS inverters in Figure P16.35. The threshold voltages of the n-channel transistors are \(V_{T N}=0.8 \mathrm{~V}\), and the threshold voltages of the p-channel transistors are \(V_{T P}=-0.8 \mathrm{~V}\). The conduction parameters are all equal.

(a) Determine the range of \(v_{O 1}\) for which both \(N_{1}\) and \(P_{1}\) are biased in the saturation region.

(b) If \(v_{O 2}=0.6 \mathrm{~V}\), determine the values of \(v_{O 3}, v_{O 1}\), and \(v_{I}\).
