10 Voltage Transfer Characteristic (VTC) of AND Gate
B A F = AB n transistors, W/L = 0.5μ/0.25μ p transistors, W/L = 1.5μ/0.25μ Copyright Agrawal, 2007 ELEC6270 Spring 13, Lecture 12

11 VTC: Spice Simulation 3.0 2.0 VDD – Vtn 1.0 B = VDD A = 0 → VDD 0.0
F, V A = VDD, B = 0 → VDD A = B = 0 → VDD Vin, V Copyright Agrawal, 2007 ELEC6270 Spring 13, Lecture 12

12 Energy 0 → VDD Vout VDD = 2.5V i(t) CL T T
If this voltage is insufficient for turning the pMOS Transistor in inverter off, leakage power will be consumed. 0 → VDD Vout VDD = 2.5V i(t) CL T T E0→ = ∫ P(t) dt = VDD ∫ i(t) dt VDD-Vtn = VDD ∫ CL dVout = CL VDD (VDD – Vtn) < CL VDD2 Copyright Agrawal, 2007 ELEC6270 Spring 13, Lecture 12

13 Energy: PTL vs. CMOS PTL consumes less dynamic power than static CMOS Logic. PTL leakage may be higher when inverter output is low, because the reduced voltage level may be insufficient to turn the PMOS transistor in the inverter off. Copyright Agrawal, 2007 ELEC6270 Spring 13, Lecture 12

14 Ways to Reduce Leakage Level restoration
Multiple-threshold transistors Transmission-gate logic Copyright Agrawal, 2007 ELEC6270 Spring 13, Lecture 12

15 Level Restoration VDD Level restorer B=1 Vout A=1 CL
CL Level restorer device should be weaker than the nMOS pass transistor. Otherwise, VDD → 0 transition at Vout will be impossible. Copyright Agrawal, 2007 ELEC6270 Spring 13, Lecture 12

16 Multiple-Threshold Transistors
Use zero-threshold pass-transistors. Use high-threshold transistors in all other gates. This can cause leakage through multiple gates. Copyright Agrawal, 2007 ELEC6270 Spring 13, Lecture 12

17 Leakage Through Zero-Threshold Transistors

18 Transmission-Gate Logic

29 CPL: Complementary Pass-Transistor Logic
Every signal and its complement is generated. Gates are static, because the output is connected to either VDD or GND. Design is modular; same cell can produce various gates by simply permuting the input signals. Also called differential pass-transistor logic (DPL) Copyright Agrawal, 2007 ELEC6270 Spring 13, Lecture 12
