NAND Gate Truth table To implement the design, Follow the procedures from Slides of part A A B Output 1
Schematic – NAND gate
Symbol – NAND gate
Test bench Circuit – NAND gate Note: Keep the frequency of V2 twice than V3 to see output efficiently
Simulation results – NAND gate N1 is output; N2 and N3 are inputs
Propagation Delay (tP) When the gate inputs change, the outputs do not change instantaneously Defined as the latency between a change in the input and a change in the output measured from the 50% point at the input and the 50% point at the output tPHL – the time it takes for the output to switch from HIGH to LOW tPLH – the time it takes for the output to switch from LOW to HIGH
Analysis Tabulate the propagation delays (tPHL, tPLH) for NAND gate from the waveform Use marker and cursor to find out the propagation delay, a little bit similar like Multisim It will be like 0.6 ns
Propagation Delay – NAND (tPLH): Example from Tanner v15 tPLH = 0.6ns
Propagation Delay – NAND (tPHL): Example from Tanner v15 tPHL = 0.9ns
