# CMOS NAND Gate Analysis

## Problem Statement

The circuit in Figure 1 is a 3-input NAND gate. Assume the following parameters:

- \( V_{DD} = 1.5 \, \text{V} \)
- \( K_n' = 100 \, \mu\text{A/V}^2 \)
- \( V_{tn} = 0.4 \, \text{V} \)
- \( (W/L)_n = 30 \)
- \( K_p' = 60 \, \mu\text{A/V}^2 \)
- \( V_{tp} = -0.4 \, \text{V} \)
- \( (W/L)_p = 20 \)

### Tasks

**a.** If the load capacitance is 100 fF, compute the propagation delay for each transition shown in the following table using the average current approximation method. Neglect the body effect.

**b.** Based on the propagation delays calculated in part a, determine the effective output resistance of the NAND gate for each transition.

### Table of Transitions

| **Transition (ABC)** | **Propagation Delay** | **Effective Output Resistance** |
|----------------------|-----------------------|--------------------------------|
| 000 → 111            |                       |                                |
| 111 → 110            |                       |                                |
| 111 → 100            |                       |                                |
| 111 → 000            |                       |                                |

### Figure 1

The diagram depicts a 3-input CMOS NAND gate. It consists of:

- Three PMOS transistors in parallel connected to \( V_{DD} \) and the output \( Z \).
- Three NMOS transistors in series connected to ground and the output \( Z \).
- Inputs \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \) control the gates of the transistors.

The diagram illustrates the configuration commonly used in CMOS NAND gates to perform the logical NAND function.
