Lpvlsi Unit 2 Part II
Circuit realization based on the above approach is not only area efficient
but also satisfies all the requirements of pass-transistor logic
realization mentioned earlier.
To satisfy this, the output voltage should be less than the threshold
voltage, i.e., Vout ≤ Vt = 0.2 Vdd.
The area occupied by the nMOS NOR gate is reasonable, because the
pull-up transistor geometry is not affected by the number of inputs.
The worst-case delay of
an NOR gate is also comparable to the corresponding inverter. As a
consequence, the use of NOR gate in circuit realization is preferred
compared to that of NAND gate, when there is a choice.

CMOS NAND Gates
Fan-in of n having n number of nMOS transistor in series in the pull-
down path and n number of pMOS transistors in parallel in the pull-
up network.
With all the transistors same size, having a width W = Wn = Wp and
length L = Ln = Lp.
If all inputs are tied together, it behaves like an inverter. However,
static and dynamic characteristics are different from that of the
standard inverter.
To determine the inversion point, pMOS transistors in parallel may be
equated to a single transistor with the width n times that of a single
transistor. And nMOS transistors in series may be considered to be
equivalent to have a length equal to n times that of a single transistor.
