Use the Elmore delay approximation to find the worst-case rise and fall delays at the output for the following circuit. The gate sizes of the transistors are given in the figure. Use the assumption that the diffusion capacitance is equal to the gate capacitance, and that a minimum sized transistor has gate and diffusion capacitance equal to C. The resistance of an nMOS transistor with unit width is R and the resistance of a pMOS transistor with width 2 is also R. Also assume NO sharing of diffusion regions. (Hint: off-path capacitances can contribute to delay.)

Let's design CMOS logistic gate F(A, B, C, D) = A+(B∙C)+D For PMOS transistors and NMOS transistors of the same size, consider a fabrication process that is four times the resistance of the PMOS transistor. Assume that all diffusion areas have no sharing. Unit inverter refers to a minimum-sized inverter that makes rise resistance (also called pullup resistance) and fall resistance (also called pulldown resistance) equal by sizing the CMOS inverter shown in the following figure with PMOS:NMOS = 4:1. (a) Draw the transistor-level schematic of CMOS logic gate F consisting of PMOS and NMOS. (b) In the worst case scenario, size the PMOS and NMOS transistors of CMOS logic gate F to have the same rise and fall resistance as unit inverter. (c) Find the logical effect gA and intrinsic delay p of CMOS logic gate F with respect to Input A.
