CMOS Combinational Circuits • Implementation of logic gates and other structures using CMOS technology. • Basic element: transistor • 2 types of transistors: • n-channel (nMOS) and p-channel (pMOS) • Type depends on the semiconductor materials used to implement the transistor. • We want to model transistor behavior at the logic level in order to study the behavior of CMOS circuits view pMOS and nMOS transistors as swithes. Combinational Logic
CMOS transistors as Switches 3 terminals in CMOS transistors: • G: Gate • D: Drain • S: Source nMOS transistor/switch X=1 switch closes (ON) X=0 switch opens (OFF) pMOS transistor/switch X=1 switch opens (OFF) X=0 switch closes (ON) Combinational Logic
Networks of Switches • Use switches to create networks that represent CMOS logic circuits. • To implement a function F, create a network s.t. there is a path through the network whenever F=1 and no path when F=0. • Two basic structures: • Transistors in Series • Transistors in Parallel Combinational Logic

Networks of Switches (cont.) • In general: • nMOS in series is used to implement AND logic • pMOS in series is used to implement NOR logic • nMOS in parallel is used to implement OR logic • pMOS in parallel is used to implement NAND logic • Observe that: • 1 is the complement of 4, and vice-versa • 2 is the complement of 3, and vice-versa Combinational Logic

Fully Complementary CMOS NetworksBasic Gates Combinational Logic
Fully Complementary CMOSComplex Gates Given a function F: • First take the complement of F to form F’ • Implement F’ as an nMOS net and connect it to GRD (pull-down net) and F. • Find dual of F’, implement it as a pMOS net and connect it to +V (pull-up net) and F. • Connect switch inputs.
