24.13 Calculate the total channel area for a symmetric two-input CMOS NAND gate using (a) WN/LN = 4μm/2μm for the NMOS transistors (b) WP/LP = 4μm/2μm for the PMOS transistors

Explanation & Steps

Step 1) Draw transistor-level circuit diagram of 2-input NAND gate in CMOS technology.

Step 2) Count the number of NMOS and PMOS transistors.

Step 3) Channel area of one transistor is width multiplied by length of transistor.

Step 4) Add area of all transistors to get channel area of 2-input NAND gate.
