Complex CMOS Logic Gates

This lecture covers the construction, delay, and sizing of CMOS logic gates. Starting from the basic CMOS gates construction using the switch model, the instructor explains the Pull-Up and Pull-Down networks, the realization of Positive, Negative, and Non Unate functions, and the impact of threshold drops. The lecture also delves into the design of general CMOS gates, the synthesis of complex gates, and the transistor sizing for static and dynamic gates. Furthermore, it discusses strategies for transistor sizing, residual input pattern effects, delay estimation using the Elmore Delay Model, and dealing with fan-in through progressive sizing, input reordering, logic restructuring, and buffer insertion.
