[SI-LIST] Re: simulating Mos in series

Hi Sampath, 

Thanks a lot for breifing about the same !!! 

But why does it  act like that, or what tells it to
change the terminals while simulating. 
A pass transistor is a simple , single tranisitor or 
like here  m1 and m2 , m3 in series form a pass
transisor ? 
 
Apologises for  keeping on asking such dump 
questions. 

Regards.
