Tsung-Chu Huang (黃宗柱) Department of Electronic Eng. Chong Chou Institute of Tech. 2003/11/03

2 Outline CMOS Logic Gate Design Standard Cell Layout Gate Array Layout
Sea of Gates CMOS Layout Guideline Transmission Gate Layout MUX Layout CMOS Logic Structures Clocking Strategies I/O Structures Low-Power Design

3 To that nearest to output in the serial transistors
Fan-In and Fan-Out A D Fanin=3 Fanout=4 A D To that nearest to output in the serial transistors

4 CMOS Gate Stage-Ratio Principle
(Review) IO PAD

5 Transistor Stage-Ratio Principle
1 ↓ CDS OCg s:1 Rp/s rOCg output part internal part

6 Transistor Stage-Ratio Principle Equal Rise/Fall Time Design
Normalized-mobility

7 Transistor Stage-Ratio Principle High-Speed Design Guideline
Use NAND instead of NOR gates Place inverters at high-fanout nodes Fanin < 5; Fanout < 10 Use min.-sized gates on high-fanout nodes; Keep Rise/Fall edges sharp

10 Stick Diagram 常用佈局表示法及簡化佈局法 例： 格子(Grid)狀文字(Font)表示法
EDIF 為一種(層次，對角座標)的表示法 Stick diagram: 草圖用，將不重要寬度省略 例： 2/0.35 1/0.35

11 例如：F=(A+B)(C+D) A B C D A B C D 因為F= A B + C D P型網路為： 因為F=(A+B)(C+D) A
