CoE 141 Assignment 1

WFUM 2nd Semester SY 2010 - 2011 Due: 5pm Friday, January 14, 2011 (Rm 201) 1. Find the range of values for CL such that a 2-stage CMOS inverter buer will result in the smallest delay. Assume that the receiving circuit can handle any logic inversions that occur.

CL

Figure 1: Figure for problem 1. 2. Design a single complex static CMOS gate that implements the XOR logic operation F = A B. Size the transistors such that all the inputs have the same input capacitance, and also has the same pull-up and pull-down strength as a 2:1 inverter. (Hint: treat the complementary inputs also as a dierent input variable) 3. Design a single complex static CMOS gate that performs the logic operation F = AB + C. Size the transistors such that all the inputs have the same input capacitance, and also has the same pull-up and pull-down strength as a 2:1 inverter. 4. Path Optimization: (a) Size the dierent gates in the 256256-bit memory decoder (discussed in class) shown below, for minimum delay, using CL = 256Ccell and Cin = 4Ccell . (b) What is this minimum delay?
3X 15X
