  2. ASIC Library Design • ASIC design is usually performed using a predefined and precharacterized library of cells • In designing this library, the original designer had to optimize speed and area without knowing the actual application that the cells will be used for - i.e., how large a load they will be driving • wire load • fanout load • Being aware of the source and effect of these trade-offs will make it easier to understand how to optimally design using the library cells

  9. Balanced CMOS Inverter Assume that due to differences in mp and mn, for a minimum sized transistor, Rp = 2Rn For abalanced inverter we want RP = RN, so in this case, WP must be 2WN WP/LP = 2/1 WN/LN = 2/1
