Propagation Delay • Propagation Delay is the amount of time it takes a change of input to appear as a change on the output. • Propagation Delay is measured from the 50% point on the input signal to the 50% point on the output. Input Output tpHL
Transition time • High-low and low high transition times at the output of a gate are defined as tHL and tLH between the 10% and 90% points. 90% 10% tLH 90% 10% tHL
Gate Delay • The load capacitance severely affects the gate delay. Inv1 Inv2
Objective for our simulation • Create a NAND gate using p and n MOSFET and testing its performance. • Testing the performance of a NAND gate from SCMOS library. • Comparing the performance of the two NAND gates.

Record the propagation delay • Record tpHL and tpLH for the NAND gate. • Record the waveform for the same. • Next we will use the same test bench for the NAND gate from the LogicGates library • Record the values of tpHL and tpLH in 2 cases.
Replace your NAND gate by the NAND gate in the library LogicGates
Analysis/Result • Is the rise time and fall time of each gate same, if no then why? • Is the rise time and fall time of both the gates similar to each other, if no then what could be the probable reasons for the difference?
Analysis/Result • Repeat the simulation to create a NOR gate using CMOS. • In the test circuit, replace your NOR gate by the NOR gate in SCMOS library. • Record the waveform in the two cases and make the similar observations as you made for NAND gate.
