EE534 VLSI Design System Summer 2003 Lecture 9:Chapter 7 Combinational MOS logic circuits Impact of CL on Psc: slop engineering Vin Vout CL Isc ≈ 0 Vin Vout CL Isc ≈ Imax Large capacitive load Output fall time significantly larger than input rise time. Small capacitive load Output fall time substantially smaller than the input rise time. Review: CMOS inverter static power Static power consumption: Static current: in CMOS there is no static current as long as Vin < VTN or Vin > VDD+VTP Leakage current: determined by “off” transistor Influenced by transistor width, supply voltage, transistor threshold voltages VDD VI<VTN Ileak,n Vcc VDD Ileak,p Vo(low) VDD Review: Dynamic Power Consumption Vin Vout CL Vdd Review: Short Circuit Power Consumption Finite slope of the input signal causes a direct current path between VDD and GND for a short period of time during switching when both the NMOS and PMOS transistors are conducting.
