Charge sharing is an important problem in dynamic circuits. Switching exposes a fixed amount of charge to a different capacitive environment. This results in node voltage change. After pre-charge stage, the output node voltage of the dynamic logic circuit in Figure 1 will be equal to VDD. During the evaluate phase, assume A = 1 and B=0. Output node will not connect to ground but the total charge on the output node (Q = C.V) will be shared by parasitic capacitance (C1) and the load capacitance (CL). So that the output voltage will drop and be equal to M1 source voltage. a. The circuit is Figure 1 is pre-charged with VDD = 3V. During evaluation stage, M1 turns on and M2 is off (A=1 and B=0). CL = 250fF, C1 = 125fF and Vt0,n=0.55V. Calculate the final voltage after charge sharing. Is M1 still conducting at this voltage? b. Repeat question a for C1 = 40fF. Calculate the final voltage after charge sharing. Is M1 still conducting at this voltage? If not, what is the value of the output voltage at this scenario? c. With A = 1 and B = 0, the output of the circuit in Fig 1 should be logic high. However, you have seen that logic high does not mean VDD for this example. Output voltage depends on the parasitic capacitance at the source node of M2. For a dynamic 2 input NAND gate, what is the maximum value that the Figure 1 output voltage can reach when A= 1 and B = 0?

In Figure 5, the NMOS inputs are VA = VB = 5 V, the threshold voltage is Vtn = 2.8 V, and the initial output voltage is VO = 0 V. Provide an estimate for the output voltage. In Figure 5, the PMOS inputs are VA = VB = 0 V, the threshold voltage is Vtp = 3.2 V, and the initial output voltage is VO = 5 V. Provide an estimate for the output voltage.
