power dissipation = 10mW,
voltage gain = 2000. Given
nCox=60 A/V2, pCox=30A/V2,
n=0.1V-1, p=0.2V-1 (for an
effective channel length of 0.5

Output swing:
Node X(Y) swing=1.5 V,

|VOD7|+|VOD5|+VOD3+VOD1+VOD9=1.5 V
Since M9 carrying largest current, VOD90.5 V (chosen)
Since M5-M8 suffer from low mobility, |VOD5|=|V|0.3 V,
VOD1=VOD3 0.2 V (chosen)
W/L: From ID=(1/2)Cox(W/L)(VGSVTH)2 and using minimum
length (0.5m) for all MOS to minimize capacitances.
