At that time, CMOS was just entering the main- stream as a technique for high-speed, high-density logic circuits. Although the technology had been invented in the 1960’s, it was still necessary to include Sec- tion 1.1 entitled Why CMOS? to justify a book on the subject. Since that time, CMOS has matured and taken its place as the primary technology for VLSI and ULSI digital circuits. It therefore seemed appropriate to update the book and gen- erate a second edition. Background of the Book After loading the old files and studying the content of the earlier book, it became clear to me that the field is much more stable and well-defined than it was in the early 1990’s. True, technological advances continue to make CMOS better and better, but the general foundations of modern digital circuit design have not changed much in the past few years. New logic circuit techniques appearing in the literature are based on well-established ideas, indicating that CMOS has matured. As a result of this observation, the great majority of the old files were abandoned and replaced with expanded discussions and new topics, and the book was reorganized to the form described below. There are sections that didn’t change much. For example, Chapter 1 (which introduces MOSFETs) includes more derivations and pedagogical material, but the theme is about the same. But, many items are significantly different. For example, the earlier book contained about 60 pages on dynamic logic circuits. The present volume has almost three times the number of pages dedi- cated to this important area. In addition, the book has been written with more of a textbook flavor and includes problem sets. Contents Chapter 1 introduces the MOS system and uses the gradual-channel approximation to derive the square-law equations and basic FET models. This sets the notation for the rest of the book. Bulk- charge models are also discussed, and the last part of the chapter introduces topics from small- device theory, such as scaling and hot electrons. viii Chapter 2 is an overview of silicon fabrication and topics relevant to a CMOS process flow. Basic ideas in lithography and pattern transfer are covered, as are items such as design rules, FET sizing, isolation, and latch-up. This chapter can be skipped in a first reading, but it is important to understanding some problems that are specific to layout and fabrication issues. It is not meant to replace a dedicated course in the subject. Circuit design starts in Chapter 3, which is a detailed analysis of the static CMOS inverter. The study is used to set the stage for all of the remaining chapters by defining important DC quantities, transient times, and introducing CMOS circuit analysis techniques. Chapter 4 concentrates on a detailed study of the electrical characteristics of FETs when used as voltage-controlled electronic switches. In particular, the treatment is structured to emphasize the strong and weak points of nFETs and pFETs, and how both are used to create logic networks. This feeds into Chapter 5, which is devoted entirely to static logic gates. This includes fully complementary designs in addi- tion to variants such as pseudo-nMOS circuits and novel XOR/XNOR networks. Chapter 6 on transmission gate logic completes this part of the book. Dynamic circuit concepts are introduced in Chapter 7. This chapter includes topics such as charge sharing and charge leakage in various types of CMOS circuit arrangements. RC modelling is introduced, and the Elmore formulas for the time constant of an RC ladder is derived. Clocks are introduced and used in various types of clocked static and dynamic circuits. Dynamic logic families are presented in Chapter 8. The discussion includes detailed treatments of precharge/evaluate rip- ple logic, domino logic cascades, self-resetting logic gates, single-phase circuits and others. I have tried to present the material in an order that demonstrates how the techniques were developed to solve specific problems. Chapter 9 deals with differential dual-rail logic families such as CVSL and CPL with short overviews of related design styles. The material in Chapter 10 is concerned with selected topics in chip design, such as intercon- nect modelling and delays, crosstalk, BSD-protected input circuits, and the effects of transmission lines on output drivers. The level of the presentation in this chapter is reasonably high, but the top- ics are complex enough so that the discussions only graze the surface. It would take another volume (at least) to do justice to these problems. As such, the chapter was included to serve as an introduc- tion for other courses or readings. Use as a Text There is more than enough material in the book for a 1-semester or 2-quarter sequence at the senior undergraduate or the first-year graduate level. The text itself is structured around a first-year gradu- ate course entitled Digital MOS Integrated Circuits that is taught at Georgia Tech every year. The course culminates with each student completing an individual design project. My objectives in developing the course material are two-fold. First, I want the students to be able to read relevant articles in the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits with a reasonable level of comprehension by the end of the course. The second objective is more pragmatic. I attempt to structure the content and depth of the presentation to the point where the students can answer all of the questions posed in their job interviews and plant visits, and secure positions as chip designers after graduation. Moreover, I try to merge basics with current design techniques so that they can function in their positions with only a minimum amount of start-up time. Problem sets have been provided at the end of every chapter (except Chapter 2). The questions are based on the material emphasized in the chapter, and most of them are calculational in nature. Process parameters have been provided, but these can easily be replaced by different sets that might be of special interest. Most of the problems have appeared on my homeworks or exams; others are questions that I wrote, but never got around to using for one reason or another. I have tried to include a reasonable number of problems without getting excessive. Students that can follow the level of detail used in the book should not have many problems applying the material. SPICE sim- ulations add a lot to understanding, and should be performed whenever possible. ix Apologies No effort was made to include a detailed list of references in the final version of the book. I initially set out to compile a comprehensive bibliography. However, after several graduate students per- formed on-line literature searches that yielded results far more complete than my list, I decided to include only a minimal set here. The references that were chosen are books and a few papers whose contents are directly referenced in the writing. The task is thus left to the interested reader. I have tried very hard to eliminate the errors in the book, but realize that many will slip through. After completing six readings of the final manuscript, I think that I caught most of the major errors and hope that the remaining ones are relatively minor in nature. I apologize in advance for those I missed. Acknowledgments Many thanks are due to Carl Harris of Kluwer who has shown amazing patience in waiting for this project to be completed. He never seemed to lose hope, even when I was quite ill (and crabby) for several months and unable to do much. Of course, those who know Carl will agree with me that he is a true gentlemen with exceptional qualities. And a real nice guy. Dr. Roger P. Webb, Chair of the School of Electrical & Computer Engineering at Georgia Tech, has always supported my efforts in writing, and has my never ending thanks. Dr. William (Bill) Sayle, Vice-Chair for ECE Undergraduate Affairs, has also helped me more times than I can count during the many years we have known each other. I am grateful to my colleagues that have taken the time to discuss technical items with me. On the current project, this includes Dr. Glenn S. Smith, Dr. Andrew F. Peterson, and Dr. David R. Hertling in particular. I am grateful to the reviewers that took the time to weed through early versions of the manu- script that were full of typos, missing figures, and incomplete sections to give me their comments. Feedback from the many students and former students that have suffered through the course have helped shape the contents and presentation. Finally, I would like to thank my wife Melba and my daughters Valerie and Christine that have put up with dad sitting in front of the computer for hours and hours and hours.

  • Design and Implementation of 4 Bit Carry Skip Adder Using Nmos and Pmos Transmission Gate
    EasyChair Preprint № 2561 Design and Implementation of 4 Bit Carry Skip Adder Using Nmos and Pmos Transmission Gate Ashutosh Pandey, Harshit Singh, Vivek Kumar Chaubey and Utkarsh Jaiswal EasyChair preprints are intended for rapid dissemination of research results and are integrated with the rest of EasyChair. February 5, 2020 CHAPTER-1 INTRODUCTION In the field of electronics, a digital circuit that performs addition of numbers is called an adder or summer. In various kinds of processors like computers, adders have many applications in the arithmetic logic units, as well as in other parts, where these are used to compute table indices, addresses and similar operations. Mostly, the common adders operate on binary numbers, but they can also be constructed for many other numerical representations, such as excess-3 or binary coded decimal (BCD). It is insignificant to customize the adder into an adder-subtractor unit in situations where negative numbers are represented by one's or two's complement. The usage of power efficient VLSI circuits is required to satiate the perennial need for mobile electronic devices. The calculations in these devices ought to be performed using area efficient and low power circuits working at higher speed. The most elementary arithmetic operation is addition; and the most basic arithmetic component of the processor is the adder. Depending upon the delay, area and power consumption requirements; certain adder implementations such as ripple carry, carry-skip, carry select and carry look ahead are available. When large bit numbers are used, the ripple carry adder (RCA) is not very efficient. With the bit length, there is a linear increase in delay.

  • Advanced MOSFET Designs and Implications for SRAM Scaling
    Advanced MOSFET Designs and Implications for SRAM Scaling By Changhwan Shin A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering - Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Tsu-Jae King Liu, Chair Professor Borivoje Nikolić Professor Eugene E. Haller Spring 2011 Advanced MOSFET Designs and Implications for SRAM Scaling Copyright © 2011 by Changhwan Shin Abstract Advanced MOSFET Designs and Implications for SRAM Scaling by Changhwan Shin Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering – Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences University of California, Berkeley Professor Tsu-Jae King Liu, Chair Continued planar bulk MOSFET scaling is becoming increasingly difficult due to increased random variation in transistor performance with decreasing gate length, and thereby scaling of SRAM using minimum-size transistors is further challenging. This dissertation will discuss various advanced MOSFET designs and their benefits for extending density and voltage scaling of static memory (SRAM) arrays. Using three- dimensional (3-D) process and design simulations, transistor designs are optimized. Then, using an analytical compact model calibrated to the simulated transistor current-vs.-voltage characteristics, the performance and yield of six-transistor (6-T) SRAM cells are estimated. For a given cell area, fully depleted silicon-on-insulator (FD-SOI) MOSFET technology is projected to provide for significantly improved yield across a wide range of operating voltages, as compared with conventional planar bulk CMOS technology. Quasi-Planar (QP) bulk silicon MOSFETs are a lower-cost alternative and also can provide for improved SRAM yield. A more printable "notchless" QP bulk SRAM cell layout is proposed to reduce lithographic variations, and is projected to achieve six-sigma yield (required for terabit-scale SRAM arrays) with a minimum operating voltage below 1 Volt.

  • A Constant Delay Logic Style - an Alternative Way of Logic Design
    A Constant Delay Logic Style - An Alternative Way of Logic Design by Pierce I-Jen Chuang A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Applied Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2010 c Pierce I-Jen Chuang 2010 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract High performance, energy efficient logic style has always been a popular research topic in the field of very large scale integrated (VLSI) circuits because of the continuous demands of ever increasing circuit operating frequency. The invention of the dynamic logic in the 80s is one of the answers to this request as it allows designers to implement high per- formance circuit block, i.e., arithmetic logic unit (ALU), at an operating frequency that traditional static and pass transistor CMOS logic styles are difficult to achieve. However, the performance enhancement comes with several costs, including reduced noise margin, charge-sharing noise, and higher power dissipation due to higher data activity. Further- more, dynamic logic has gradually lost its performance advantage over static logic due to the increased self-loading ratio in deep-submicron technology (65nm and below) because of the additional NMOS CLK footer transistor. Because of dynamic logic's limitations and diminished speed reward, a slowly rising need has emerged in the past decade to explore new logic style that goes beyond dynamic logic.

A logic family of monolithic digital integrated circuit devices is a group of electronic logic gates constructed using one of several different designs, usually with compatible logic levels and power supply characteristics within a family. Many logic families were produced as individual components, each containing one or a few related basic logical functions, which could be used as "building-blocks" to create systems or as so-called "glue" to interconnect more complex integrated circuits. A "logic family" may also refer to a set of techniques used to implement logic within VLSI integrated circuits such as central processors, memories, or other complex functions. Some such logic families use static techniques to minimize design complexity. Other such logic families, such as domino logic, use clocked dynamic techniques to minimize size, power consumption, and delay. Before the widespread use of integrated circuits, various solid-state and vacuum-tube logic systems were used but these were never as standardized and interoperable as the integrated-circuit devices.

We have modeled a memory system using Josephson Junction to attain low power consumption using low input voltage compared to conventional Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor-Static Random Access Memory (CMOS-SRAM). We attained the low power by connecting a shared/common bit line and using a 1-bit memory cell. Trough our design we may attain 2.5–3.5 microwatts of power using lower input voltage of 0.6 millivolts. Comparative study has been made to fnd which memory system will attain low power consumption. Conventional SRAM techniques consume power in the range of milliwatts with the supply input in the range of 0-10 volts. Using HDL language, we made a memory logic design of RAM cells using Josephson Junction in FreeHDL sofware which is dedicated only for Josephson Junction based design. With use of XILINX, we have calculated the power consumption and equivalent Register Transfer Level (RTL) schematic is drawn.
