The figure on the right shows a transistor level circuit that implements a CMOS gate. (a) Write a truth table for the function performed by the gate. The truth table should have two inputs A and B. (b) What is the name of this function? How many transistors do you need to implement the logic? (Hint: an inverter uses at least two transistors.)

Fig. 3 as follows is an IC layout of a CMOS implementation of a two-input digital logic gate. The truth table of the logic gate is also given. Vin1 Vin2 Vout 0 V 0 V 3 V 0 V 3 V 3 V 3 V 0 V 3 V 3 V 3 V 0 V Fig. 3 (a). How many MOSFETs are there in the IC layout shown above? (b). The given layout is drawn according to the lambda (λ) design rules. If λ = 0.15µm and the minimum feature size in the IC layout is 2λ, by examining the given layout or otherwise, determine the width in µm of the MOSFET with the largest transistor size (i.e. W/L). (c). Using the given layout and your answer in (b), hence or otherwise, sketch the transistor schematic diagram of the two-input digital logic circuit. The MOSFETs must be labelled clearly with the transistor size corresponding to the layout (assuming λ = 0.15 µm). (d). If the two inputs are tied together (i.e. Vin1 = Vin2 ), sketch the real DC voltage transfer characteristics (Vout vs. Vin ) of the CMOS digital logic circuit. Assume a supply voltage VDD = 3.0 V and the magnitude of the threshold voltage |Vth| = 0.5 V for the MOSFETs. All key features of the curve as well as the axes must be clearly labelled.

Let us consider a NAND logic gate. This circuit implements the boolean function (A.B). The . stands for the AND operation, and the - stands for NOT; combining them, we get NAND! Figure 1: NAND gate transistor-level implementation. Vtn and Vtp are the threshold voltages for the NMOS and PMOS transistors, respectively. Assume that VDD > Vtn, |Vtp| > 0. (a) Label the gate, source, and drain nodes for the NMOS and PMOS transistors (please redraw the circuit). (b) If VA = VDD and VB = VDD, which transistors act like open switches? Which transistors act like closed switches? What is Vout? (c) If VA = 0V and VB = VDD, what is Vout? (d) If VA = VDD and VB = 0V, what is Vout? (e) If VA = 0V and VB = 0V, what is Vout? (f) Write out the truth table for this circuit.
