Objective of This Chapter Use Inverter to know basic CMOS Circuits Operations Watch for performance Index such as Speed (Delay) Optimal Transistor Sizing Power Consumption

The CMOS Inverter: A First Glance out C L DD

CMOS Inverter N Well V DD PMOS 2l Contacts Out In Metal 1 Polysilicon NMOS GND

Two Inverters Vin Vout Vout Vin Share power and ground Abut cells Connect in Metal Vin Vout Vout Vin

CMOS Inverter First-Order DC Analysis DD in = out R n p VOL = 0 VOH = VDD VM = f(Rn, Rp) Rn, Rp: Channel Resistance in Saturation Mode

Propagation Delay

CMOS Inverter Propagation Delay Approach 1

CMOS Inverter Propagation Delay Approach 2

CMOS Inverters V DD PMOS 1.2 m m =2l Out In Metal1 Polysilicon NMOS GND

Transient Response ? tp = 0.69 CL (Reqn+Reqp)/2 tpLH tpHL

Design for Performance Keep loading capacitances (CL) small Increase transistor sizes (add CMOS gain) Watch out for self-loading (for the previous stage)! Increase VDD (????)

Delay as a function of VDD

Device Sizing (for fixed load) Self-loading effect: Intrinsic capacitances dominate

NMOS/PMOS ratio tpLH tpHL tp b = Wp/Wn

Impact of Rise Time on Delay

Inverter Sizing

Inverter Chain In Out CL If CL is given: How many stages are needed to minimize the delay? How to size the inverters? May need some additional constraints.

Inverter Delay Minimum length devices, L=0.25mm Assume that for WP = 2WN =2W same pull-up and pull-down currents approx. equal resistances RN = RP approx. equal rise tpLH and fall tpHL delays Analyze as an RC network 2W W Delay (D): tpHL = (ln 2) RNCL tpLH = (ln 2) RPCL Load for the next stage:

Inverter with Load RW CL RW tp = k RWCL k is a constant, equal to 0.69 Delay RW CL RW Load (CL) tp = k RWCL k is a constant, equal to 0.69 Assumptions: no load -> zero delay Wunit = 1

Inverter with Load CP = 2Cunit 2W Cint CL W CN = Cunit Delay 2W Cint CL W Load CN = Cunit Delay = kRW(Cint + CL) = kRWCint + kRWCL = kRW Cint(1+ CL /Cint) = Delay (Internal) + Delay (Load)

Delay Formula Cint = gCgin with g  1 f = CL/Cgin - effective fanout R = Runit/W ; Cint =WCunit tp0 = 0.69RunitCunit

Apply to Inverter Chain Out CL 1 2 N tp = tp1 + tp2 + …+ tpN

Optimal Tapering for Given N Delay equation has (N-1) unknowns, Cgin,2 – Cgin,N Minimize the delay, find N - 1 partial derivatives Result: Cgin,j+1/Cgin,j = Cgin,j/Cgin,j-1 Size of each stage is the geometric mean of two neighbors Each stage has the same effective fanout (Cout/Cin) Each stage has the same delay

Optimum Delay and Number of Stages When each stage is sized by f and has same effective fanout f: Effective fanout of each stage: Minimum path delay

Example In Out CL= 8 C1 1 f f2 C1 CL/C1 has to be evenly distributed across N = 3 stages:

Optimum Number of Stages For a given load, CL and given input capacitance Cin Find optimal sizing f For g = 0, f = e, N = lnF

Optimum Effective Fanout f Optimum f for given process defined by g fopt = 3.6 for g=1

Impact of Self-Loading on tp No Self-Loading, g=0 With Self-Loading g=1

Power Dissipation

Where Does Power Go in CMOS?

Dynamic Power Dissipation Vin Vout C L Vdd Energy/transition = C * V 2 L dd Power = Energy/transition * f = C * V 2 * f L dd Not a function of transistor sizes! Need to reduce C , V , and f to reduce power. L dd

Modification for Circuits with Reduced Swing

Node Transition Activity and Power

Transistor Sizing for Minimum Energy Goal: Minimize Energy of whole circuit Design parameters: f and VDD tp  tpref of circuit with f=1 and VDD =Vref

Transistor Sizing (2) Performance Constraint (g=1) Energy for single Transition

Transistor Sizing (3) VDD=f(f) E/Eref=f(f) F=1 2 5 10 20

Short Circuit Currents

How to keep Short-Circuit Currents Low? Short circuit current goes to zero if tfall >> trise, but can’t do this for cascade logic, so ...

Minimizing Short-Circuit Power Vdd =3.3 Vdd =2.5 Vdd =1.5

Leakage Sub-threshold current one of most compelling issues in low-energy circuit design!

Reverse-Biased Diode Leakage JS = 10-100 pA/mm2 at 25 deg C for 0.25mm CMOS JS doubles for every 9 deg C!

Subthreshold Leakage Component

Static Power Consumption Wasted energy … Should be avoided in almost all cases, but could help reducing energy in others (e.g. sense amps)

Principles for Power Reduction Prime choice: Reduce voltage! Recent years have seen an acceleration in supply voltage reduction Design at very low voltages still open question (0.6 … 0.9 V by 2010!) Reduce switching activity Reduce physical capacitance Device Sizing: for F=20 fopt(energy)=3.53, fopt(performance)=4.47
