  1. Lecture 4 CMOS Inverter

  2. References • Section 4.2,4.3,4.6 (Hodges)

  3. 5 Regions of Operations I: N(off), P(lin) As you increase Vin from 0 V to 1.8 V, you progress from region I to region V.

  4. Current Draw of a CMOS Inverter

  5. Ideal Voltage Transfer Characteristics of an Inverter Large Input Range/Small Output Range →Noise Immunity. Range: the voltage interval over which the signal is either a 1 or a 0.

  6. Practical VTC of an Inverter Gain=ΔVout/ΔVin VS is defined by Vout=Vin Not GND

  7. Effect of Input Noise on the Output

  8. Noise Margin Input of the Receiving Stage Output of the Driving Stage

  9. Unity Gain Noise Margin Definitions NML=VIL-VOL NMH=VOH-VIH If Vin>VIL, the gain exceeds unity and the output begins to drop significantly.

  10. General Analysis Methodology Region I: N-OFF, P-Triode Region II: IDN(Sat)=IDP(Triode)→VIL(Cumbersome to calculate analytically) Region III: IDN(Sat)=IDP(Sat)→VS(Switching voltage) Region IV: IDN(Triode)=IDP(Sat) →VIH(Cumbersome to calculate analytically) Region V: N-Triode, P-OFF

  11. Current Consumed by a CMOS Inverter

  12. TSMC 0.18 um Example • WN/LN=200nm/200nm WP/LP=200nm/200nm

  13. Computation of VS • See Derivation in the Handout • Assume: • 0.18 um TSMC CMOS • WN/LN=200nm/200nm;WP/LP=200nm/200nm • ECNLN=4.8V; ECPLP=1.2V • Hand Analysis using (EQ 4.15 /EQ 4.14): 0.76V • Spice: 0.748 V

  14. VS of TSMC 0.18 um • Assume: • 0.18 um TSMC CMOS • WN/LN=200nm/200nm WP/LP=200nm/200nm

  15. Adjust VS • Knob: • χ as defined in EQ. 4.15 • Increase WNLP/LNWP→ Decreased VS. • Decrease WNLP/LNWP→ Increased VS.

  16. Increase WP to adjust VS • WN/LN=200nm/200nm WP/LP=200nm/200nm • WN/LN=200nm/200nm WP/LP=460nm/200nm

  17. Noise Margin • VOH=VDD • VOL=0 V • Determine VIL and VIH from the -1 slope.

  18. VIL • WN/LN=200nm/200nm WP/LP=460nm/200nm

  19. VIH • WN/LN=200nm/200nm WP/LP=460nm/200nm

  20. NM Calculation • Process: TSMC 0.18 um • WN/LN=200nm/200nm; WP/LP=460nm/200nm • VS=0.809 V • VOH=1.8 V • VOL=0 V • VIL=0.66 V • VIH=0.905V • NML=VIL-VOL=0.66 V-0V=0.66V • NMH=VOH-VIH=1.8 V-0.905V=0.895 V

  23. CMOS Inverter Calculation

  24. tPHL • Δt=CLΔV/(IDS) • ΔV=VDD/2 (from VDD to VDD/2) • IDS • NMOS is in Saturation (Hand Out) • tpHL=0.69ReffnCL • tpHL=CL ΔV/(IDSAT) • Reffn=(VDD/2)/(0.69IDSAT)

  25. tPLH • Δt=CLΔV/(IDS) • ΔV=VDD/2 (from 0 to VDD/2) • IDS • PMOS is in Saturation (Hand Out) • tpLH=0.69ReffpCL • tpLH=CLΔV/(IDSAT) • Reffp=(VDD/2)/(0.69IDSAT)

  26. Reff Comparison for 0.18 um Process Reff: unit is Kohm/SQ RN=ReffN(LN/WN) RP=ReffP(LP/WP)

  27. Design Example • Design Constraints: • tPHL<50 pS, tPLH<50 pS • Load Capacitor: 50 fF • Use minimum W and L to attain the specs. • Determine W/L for PMOS and NMOS • Method: • tPHL=tPLH=50 pS=0.7ReffCL • Use Reffn=12.5 KOhm/SQ and Reffp=30 KOhm/SQ • Reff=1.4 Kohm • Reff=Reffn(Ln/Wn);Reff=Reffp(Lp/Wp) • Use minimum Ln. • Wn=1.784 um; Wp=4.284 um
