Consider the following 2T DRAM design. All NMOS transistors are minimum sized ones with W/L ratio of 2:1. The drain diffusion capacitance and gate capacitance of the two transistors are Cd = 15 fF and Cg = 25 fF, respectively. Given k′ = μnCox = 100 μA V2, Vt,n = 0.3 V, CRBL = CWBL = 400 fF, VDD = 1.5 V, γ = 0.15 V, 2φF = −0.6 V and when accessed WL = VDD and RL¯ = 0 V. a) What is the effective store-node capacitance value, Cs? Hint: There is no explicit capacitance present at the storage node. b) Consider writing a '1' to this cell, what is the maximum voltage that can be observed at this storage node? Hint: To write a '1', WBL is driven high (its voltage goes to VDD). c) During a subsequent read operation, what should be the minimum pulse width of RLBAR for a voltage drop of VDD − 2Vtn2 on RBL? Hint: During the read, RBL is pre-charged to VDD before the cell is accessed.

Write the Boolean function that is realized by the circuit above. Then reformulate it in AOI canonical form. Sketch the CMOS circuit that realizes the canonical function with minimum transistors. VDD = 3V, µnCox = 50 µA/V^2, µpCox = 20 µA/V^2, Vtn = 0.5V, Vtp = -0.5V, Lmin = 0.35 µm is given for the circuit in b. The circuit has an equivalent load capacitor of CL = 50 fF. Find the transistor dimensions which provide tpHL = 1ns and tpLH = 1.25ns for worst-case conditions. Calculate the threshold voltage (VTH) of the CMOS circuit for simultaneous switching using the equivalent inverter concept. The same function is realized using pseudo-NMOS logic. Calculate VOL for worst-case conditions when a minimum-dimension PMOS transistor and NMOS transistors with dimensions found in c are used. Comment on your result. Recalculate the NMOS dimensions so that VOL = 0.2V is obtained for worst-case conditions.

Consider the circuit shown in Figure 2 below, with gm1 = 100 mA/V, gm2 = 20 mA/V, gm3 = 3 mA/V, R1 = 2 kΩ, R2 = 1 kΩ, VDD = 5 V, and all NMOS devices are in saturation. Channel length modulation and the body effect should be ignored for this problem. (And, hopefully, it is obvious that gm1, gm2, and gm3 correspond to the device transconductances of NMOS devices M1, M2, and M3, respectively: if this wasn't obvious, note that the next time you see something like this, I probably won't spell it out for you so explicitly. if at all, so please make a mental note of these kinds of things.) a) Determine the numerical small-signal voltage gain: i) Av = Vout/Vin in units of V/V and ii) |Av| in units of dB. Be sure to indicate whether your numerical answers are positive-valued or negative-valued (numerical answers with ambiguous signs will receive little, if any: credit, partial or otherwise). List your numerical answers in proper engineering notation format with appropriate units, and show your work. b) Determine the numerical small-signal resistance "seen" looking into node Vin. List your numerical answer in proper engineering notation format with appropriate units, and show your work. c) Determine the numerical small-signal resistance "seen" looking into node Vx. List your numerical answer in proper engineering notation format with appropriate units, and show your work. d) Determine the numerical small-signal resistance "seen" looking into node Vy. List your numerical answer in proper engineering notation format with appropriate units, and show your work. e) Determine the numerical small-signal resistance "seen" looking into node Vout. List your numerical answer in proper engineering notation format with appropriate units. and show your work.
