Date of Exam: 20th February, 2024 Session: AN Duration: 2hours Full Marks: 60
Sub No: EC 60204 Sub name: Digital VLSI Circuits Number of Students: 61
Department/Center/School: Electronics &Elcctrical Communication Engineering
Specific charts, graph paper, log book etc., required: NO
Special Instructions (if any): This question paper consists of two pages. Questions are self-explanatory
and need no clarification. Answer ALL the questions. Answers to parts of aquestion must be written in
one place. Otherwise, they will NOT be evaluated. Consider velocity-saturated transistors only for
Question 3.

1. Consider an NMOS inverter circuit with saturated enhancement type NMOS load
transistor and following parameters: VDD = S.0 V; Vro-0.8 V; y= 0.4 y0s, a = 0Vl;
HnCox = S0 uAV'; 20F,subl =0.6 V; (W/L)load (2/2); (W/L)river (16/2).
(a) Draw the transistor diagram of the inverter. Calculate the values of the output
voltages VOH and VoL, considering the substrate-bias effect of the load device. Perform
two iterations only to compute both VOH and VoL. [6]
(b) Next, calculate the value of the input voltage V1L (assuming Vout =VoH to
threshold voltage of the load), and thus the noise margin NML. You must write the
compute
relevant current-voltage equation, and show all the intermediate steps. Do not write and
use any formula from memory.
[6]
(c) Finally, calculate the value of the input voltage VIH (assuming Vout = VoL to
threshold voltage of the load), and thus the noise margin NMH. Write only the compute
relevant
current-voltage equation and showall the intermediate steps. Do not write and use any
formula from memory.
[7]
2a) How does one define a symmetric CMOS inverter? For a symmetric CMOS
inverter, derive an appropriate expression for VIL (the lower salient input voltage) in
terms of only VDD and VTO,n. Do not write and use any formula from memory. Hint:
consider the regions of operation of the two transistors at Vin= VIL. Calculate the vahbe e
VL for VDD =3.3 V and VTo,n =0.75 V.

Adopt a simple timing model which states that the propagation delay equals 0.7 times the
product of average on-resistance and load capacitance.
Logically explain how you can arrive at proper values for the widths of the pull-up and
pull-down transistors for both CMOS and pseudo-nMOS inverters so that all the above
specs are satisfied. State the relevant algebraic current-voltage expressions before
using
numerical values of parameters.
Also, compute the value of the propagation delay tpLH in ps (pico-seconds) for the
pseudo-nMOS inverter with the transistor width obtained by you.
Mention the advantage and disadvantage of using pseudo-nMOS gates as compared to
CMOS gates. [13]

and why? Write the complete current-voltage expression for an NMOS transistor in
subthreshold region, that is based on modeling it as a bipolar-junction transistor (BJT).
Clearly state all the parameters involved in the expression, and which regions of the
NMOS transistor correspond to which regions of a BJT.
If the measured values of the subthreshold current are 10 nA at VGs = 125 mn÷ and 100
nAat VGs = 205 mV, calculate the values of the subthreshold swing parameter, and the
slope factor in mV/decade. [9]
