CMOS Combinational Gate
CMOS Combinational Circuits• Implementation of logic gates and other structures using CMOS
technology.• Basic element: transistor• 2 types of transistors:
– n-channel (nMOS) and p-channel (pMOS)– Type depends on the semiconductor materials used to implement the
transistor.– We want to model transistor behavior at the logic level in order to study
the behavior of CMOS circuits view pMOS and nMOS transistors as swithes.

3 terminals in CMOS transistors: G: Gate D: Drain S: Source
nMOS transistor/switch X=1 switch closes (ON) X=0 switch opens (OFF)
pMOS transistor/switch X=1 switch opens (OFF) X=0 switch closes (ON)
Networks of Switches
• Use switches to create networks that represent CMOS logic circuits.
• To implement a function F, create a network s.t. there is a path through the network whenever F=1 and no path when F=0.
• Two basic structures:– Transistors in Series– Transistors in Parallel

Networks of Switches (cont.)
• In general:1. nMOS in series is used to implement AND logic2. pMOS in series is used to implement NOR logic3. nMOS in parallel is used to implement OR logic4. pMOS in parallel is used to implement NAND logic
• Observe that:– 1 is the complement of 4, and vice-versa– 2 is the complement of 3, and vice-versa

Fully Complementary CMOSComplex Gates
Given a function F:1. First take the complement of F to form F’2. Implement F’ as an nMOS net and connect it to GRD (pull-
down net) and F.3. Find dual of F’, implement it as a pMOS net and connect it
to +V (pull-up net) and F.4. Connect switch inputs.
