Homework #3
Use n/p=2

Q1. Design complex gate gate such that F = ABC + D


(a) Draw a transistor schematic
(b) Size the transistors such that the resistance of each path is the same as the resistance of
the minimum sized inverter.
(c) What are the logical efforts for this gate inputs?
(d) What are the worst case delays for this gate driving a fan-out of four minimum sized
inverters using Elmore delay (use transistor-level diagram and do not ignore internal
parasitics)?
Q2. The gates in Figure 1 are all minimum sized. The input capacitance of a minimum sized
inverter is 10fF.
(a) Determine the delay of the critical path (in terms of the inverter delay)
(b) Determine the switching combination that activates the critical path.

(b) Implement the logic function with the number of stages as close to the number you
found in part (a)

minimum-sized inverter?
(d) Size the path to optimize the delay
(e) Determine the optimum delay
