What is CMOS?
parallel series
• When the input is logic HIGH, then the nMOS transistor is ON and the
pMOS transistor is OFF. Thus, the output is pulled down to ground
(logic 0) since it is connected to ground but not to source VDD
• When the input is logic LOW, then nMOS transistor is OFF and the
pMOS transistor is ON, Thus the output is pulled up to VDD (logic 1)
since it is connected to source via pMOS
CMOS NAND gate
Design rule:
• Identify boolean expression
• Draw truth table
• Draw pull-up and pull-down network
• Draw the final CMOS AND gate
• Justify any assumption you have used
