Choosing Transistor Sizes

Goals
Noise margin Power consumption Speed
Noise margin Speed

It is affected by the low output voltage (VL) VL is determined by p / n The larger the W/L of the load transistor, the faster the gate will be, particularly when driving many other gates Unfortunately, this increases the power dissipation and the area of the driver network

Power dissipation
A pseudo-NMOS logic gate having a 1 output has no p g g g p static (DC) power dissipation. However, a pseudo-NMOS gate having a 0 output has a static p er dissipation power dissipati n
The static power dissipation is equal to the current of the PMOS load transistor multiplied by the power supply p y p pp y voltage. Thus, the power is given by p C ox W Pdc = ( ) P (V gs V tp ) 2 V dd 2 L
The large PMOS results in large power dissipation
Power-reduction Power reduction methods

Select an appropriate PMOS Increase the bias voltage of PMOS
A simple procedure for choosing transistor sizes of pseudo-NMOS logic gates

The l ti Th relative size (W/L) of th PMOS load t i f the l d transistor i i t is chosen as a compromise between speed and size versus power dissipation Once the size of the load transistor has been chosen, then a simple procedure can be used to choose the W/Ls of the NMOS transistors in the NMOS network Let (W/L)eq be equal to one-half of the W/L of the ( ) q PMOS load transistor For each transistor Qi, determine the maximum number of drive transistors it will be in series, for all possible inputs. Denote this number ni. Take T k (W/L)i=ni(W/L) (W/L)eq
An Example
Choose appropriate sizes for the pseudoNMOS logic gate shown below
(W/L)8 is 5 um/0.8 um (W/L)eq is (5/0.8)/2=3.125 Gate lengths of drive transistors are taken at their minimum 0.8um Q8 5/0.8 Thus we can obtain

Dynamic Logic
To eliminate the static power dissipation of p pseudo-NMOS logic g
An alternative technique is to use dynamic precharging called dynamic logic as shown below
PR Vout t inputs NMOS network
Normally, Normally during the time the output is being precharged precharged, the NMOS network should not be conducting
This is usually not possible

Adding the additional PMOS has another advantages

It adds hysteresis to the inverter, which makes it less likely to have glitches
Differential Logic Design

Features of the differential logic design
Log c nvers ons Logic inversions are trivially obtained by s mply tr v ally obta ned simply interchanging wires without incurring a time delay The load networks will often consist of two crosscoupled P l d PMOS only. This minimizes both area and the l h b h d h number of series PMOS transistors
Disadvantage Dis d nt
Two wires must be used to represent every signal, the interconnect area can be significantly greater In greater. applications in which only a few close gates are being driven, this disadvantage is often not as significant as the advantages
Thus differential logic circuits are often a preferable consideration

A Fully Differential Logic Circuit

One simple and popular approach for realizing differential logic circuit is shown below
The inputs to the drive network come in pairs, a singleended signal and its inverse The Th NMOS network can be divided i t t t k b di id d into two separate t networks, one between the inverting output and ground, and a complementary network between the noninverting p y g output and ground

Differential Split-Level Logic

Features of DSL logic
The loads have some of the features of both continuous loads and cross-coupled load
Both outputs begin to change immediately The l ds d h Th loads do have d.c. power dissipation, but normally d dissi ti b t ll much less than pseudo-NMOS gates and dynamic power dissipation
The nodes V+, V-, and all internal nodes of the NMOS network have voltage changes between greater th 0V and Vref-Vtn t than d V
This reduced voltage swing increases the speed of the logic gates
The maximum drain-source voltage across the NMOS transistors is reduced by about one-half y
This greatly minimizes the short-channel effects
Differential Pass-Transistor Logic

It is not necessary to wait until one side goes to low before the other side goes high
Pass-transistor networks for most required logic functions exist in which both sides of the crosscoupled loads are d i l dl d driven simultaneously i lt l This minimizes the time from when the inputs changes to when the low to high transition occurs low-to-high
