Transistors as Switches
❑ We can view MOS transistors as electrically controlled
switches
❑ Voltage at gate controls path from source to drain
5. Power Supply Voltage
• GND = 0 V
• In 1980’s, VDD = 5V
• VDD has decreased in modern processes
– High VDD would damage modern tiny transistors
– Lower VDD saves power
• VDD = 3.3, 2.5, 1.8, 1.5, 1.2, 1.0, …
7. CMOS LOGIC
• For implementing any Boolean function using CMOS
technology, we need to make a switching circuit with PMOS
switches in the upper block that turns on when its inputs are
low, and NMOS switches in the lower block that turns on
when its inputs are high.
• The two blocks must operate in a complementary sense. The
upper block consisting of only PMOS is called a pull-up
network (PUN) because it pulls up the output to VDD or logic
high.
• The lower block consisting of NMOS is called a pull-down
network (PDN) because it pulls down the output to ground
or logic low. Any boolean function can be realized using PUN
and PDN.

8. Series and Parallel
• nMOS: 1 = ON
• pMOS: 0 = ON
• Series: both must be ON
• Parallel: either can be ON
9. • nMOS passes

19. AOI and OAI GATES
AOI (and-or-invert) and OAI (or-and-invert) gates are two basic configurations that can be realized
using CMOS logic.
The two gates are dual to each other.
The PDN of the AOI gate is structurally similar to the OAI gate’s PUN, and the AOI gate’s PUN is
structurally similar to the PDN of the OAI gate.
33. Comparison Study
• Power consumption by multiplexer designed using
Transmission gate as well as CMOS is remarkably low as
compared to that designed by Pass Transistor Logic, although
the least power is consumed by 2:1 multiplexer
implemented using TGL.
• There is a huge difference in number of transistors used to
design these circuits.
• Since multiplexer implemented by PTL utilizes minimum
number of transistors, i.e., 2 therefore it is the area efficient
logic circuit for 2:1 MUX but its performance is low as its
output is somewhat distorted.
• CMOS uses large number of components but its performance
is high and its switching time is minimum therefore its delay
is the minimum as compared to those of TGL and PTL
circuits.
