Introduction
• So far, we have treated transistors as ideal
switches
• An ON transistor passes a finite amount of
current
– Depends on terminal voltages
– Derive current-voltage (I-V) relationships
• Transistor gate, source, drain all have capacitance
– I = C (DV/Dt) -> Dt = (C/I) DV
– Capacitance and current determine speed
MOS Capacitor
• Gate and body form MOS capacitor
• Operating modes
– Accumulation
– Depletion
– Inversion

Terminal Voltages
• Mode of operation depends on Vg, Vd, Vs
– Vgs = Vg – Vs
– Vgd = Vg – Vd
– Vds = Vd – Vs = Vgs - Vgd
• Three regions of operation
– Cutoff
– Linear
– Saturation
nMOS Cutoff
• No channel
• Vgs < Vt

pMOS I-V
• All doping and voltages are inverted for pMOS
• Mobility mp is determined by holes
– Typically 2-3x lower than that of electrons mn
– 120 cm2/V*s in AMI 0.6 mm process
• Thus pMOS must be wider to provide same
current
– In this class, assume mn / mp = 2
– *** plot I-V
Transistor Operation
• Current depends on region of
transistor behavior
• For what Vin and Vout are nMOS and
pMOS in
– Cutoff?
– Linear?
– Saturation?

Calculation of VIL
When the input voltage is Vin = VIL, the slope of
the VTC is equal to [-1](dVout/dVin). At this point
B, nMOS transistor operates in saturation while
the pMOS transistor operates in the linear
region. Using KCL at output node:
[Id,n(saturation)= Id,p(linear)]
Calculation of VIH
At point D, input voltage is equal to VIH,
the nMOS transistor operates in the
linear region and pMOS transistor
operates in saturation. By applying KCL
at the output node:
[ Id,n(linear) = Id,p(saturation)]
Calculation of Vth
Threshold voltage is defined as
Vth=Vin=Vout. For Vin=Vout, both transistor
operate in saturation region, refer point
C. By applying KCL at output node:
[ Idn(saturation)=Idp(saturation) ]
Exercise 1
Consider a CMOS inverter circuit with
the following parameters, calculate the
(W/L) ratios of the nMOS and pMOS
transistors if the switching voltage is
Vth = 1.5 V.
VDD = 3.3 V
VT,n = 0.6 V
VT,p = -0.7V
µncox = 80 µA/V2
µpcox = 30 µA/V2
Exercise 2
Consider a CMOS inverter circuit with
the following parameters, calculate the
Switching voltage (Vth) of the circuit.
VDD = 3.3 V
VT,n = 0.6 V
VT,p = -0.7V
µncox = 80 µA/V2
µpcox = 30 µA/V2
(W/L)n = 8
(W/L)p = 12

Depletion-Load nMOS Inverter
Calculation of VOH
When the input voltage Vin is smaller than
the driver threshold voltage VTO, the
driver transistor is turned off and thus
not conduct any drain current. ID,load = 0,
VOH = VDD  ID,load = 0
Calculation of VOL
Assume Vin = VOH = VDD. Driver transistor
operate in linear region and load
transistor operate in saturation. By
using KCL.
Id,driver(linear) = Id,load(saturation)
Calculation of VIL
When Vin = VIL the slope of the VTC is
equal to (-1),(dVout/dVin). Driver
transistor operate in saturation region
and load transistor operate in linear
region. KCL
Id,driver(saturation) = Id,load(linear)
Calculation of VIH
Driver transistor operate in linear region
and load transistor operate in
saturation region.
Id,driver(linear) = Id,load(saturation)
