Question

Please solve this problem step by step1. Do a stick diagram layout of a CMOS OAI33 gate. Label the inputs as A, B,C, D, Eand F;
route A, B and C to one 3-stack of transistors, and route D, E and F to the other 3-stack of
transistors. Assume that the gate size of equivalent inverter has S=2 and beta=2, and size
the transistors accordingly.

(a) Estimate Cin using the heuristic presented in class and given Caz0= 0.7 fF.

(b) Calculate the dynamic power consumption of the gate for the case that the inputs have
differing px(1) values, where px(1) denotes the probability that input X is high. You are
given pa(1) =0.4, ps(1) = 0.5, pc(1) =0.7, po(1) = 0.25, pe(1) = 0.8 and pr(1) = 0.2. You
are given Vpp = 1.5 V, Cexr = 15 fF and that the inputs switch synchronously at a
frequency fin = 150 MHz.

Let's solve the problem step by step:

## 1. **Understanding the CMOS OAI33 Gate**

**OAI33** stands for **OR-AND-Invert** with three inputs each (3+3 inputs). The logic function is:

$$
Y = \overline{(A + B + C) \cdot (D + E + F)}
$$

## (a) **Estimate $ C_{int} $ (Internal Capacitance)**

### **Given:**
- Gate size of equivalent inverter: $ S = 2 $, $ \beta = 2 $
- $ C_{dn} = .7 $ fF (diffusion capacitance per unit)
- Heuristic from class (typically, sum up diffusion capacitance for each diffusion region)

#### **Step 1: Draw Stick Diagram**
- 3-stack NMOS for (A, B, C) in parallel with another 3-stack for (D, E, F).
- PMOS network will have similar stacking, but in series/parallel as per DeMorgan’s law.

#### **Step 2: Estimate Number of Diffusion Regions**
- Each 3-stack typically has **4 diffusion regions** (3 transistors = 2 shared, 2 at the ends).
- 2 stacks ⇒ total **8 regions** (4 per stack × 2 stacks).

#### **Step 3: Adjust for Merging**
- Assume some diffusion regions are shared at the output, so estimate **7 regions**.

#### **Step 4: Size the Transistors**
- Equivalent inverter has $ S = 2 $, so each transistor is sized up by 2×.
- Each diffusion region capacitance: $ C_{diff} = S \cdot C_{dn} = 2 \times .7 = 1.4 $ fF.

#### **Step 5: Calculate $ C_{int} $**
$$
C_{int} = (\text{Number of regions}) \times (\text{Capacitance per region})
$$
$$
C_{int} = 7 \times 1.4~\text{fF} = 9.8~\text{fF}
$$

## (b) **Dynamic Power Consumption Calculation**

### **Given:**
- Input probabilities:  
  $ p_A(1) = .4 $, $ p_B(1) = .5 $, $ p_C(1) = .7 $, $ p_D(1) = .25 $, $ p_E(1) = .8 $, $ p_F(1) = .2 $
- $ V_{DD} = 1.5~V $
- $ C_{EXT} = 15~fF $
- $ f_{in} = 150~\text{MHz} $

### **Step 1: Calculate Output Switching Probability ($ \alpha_{out} $)**

#### **Step 1.1: Probability Output is HIGH ($ p_{out}(1) $)**

$$
Y = \overline{(A + B + C) \cdot (D + E + F)}
$$
First, calculate $ p_{ABC}(1) $ (probability $ A + B + C = 1 $):
$$
p_{ABC}(1) = 1 - (1-p_A)(1-p_B)(1-p_C) = 1 - (.6)(.5)(.3) = 1 - .09 = .91
$$

Similarly, $ p_{DEF}(1) $:
$$
p_{DEF}(1) = 1 - (1-p_D)(1-p_E)(1-p_F) = 1 - (.75)(.2)(.8) = 1 - .12 = .88
$$

$$
p_{out}() = p_{ABC}(1) \times p_{DEF}(1) = .91 \times .88 = .8008
$$
$$
p_{out}(1) = 1 - p_{out}() = 1 - .8008 = .1992
$$

#### **Step 1.2: Output Activity Factor ($ \alpha_{out} $)**

Assuming uncorrelated inputs:

$$
\alpha_{out} = 2 \times p_{out}(1) \times (1 - p_{out}(1))
$$
$$
\alpha_{out} = 2 \times .1992 \times .8008 = .319
$$

### **Step 2: Total Capacitance Switched ($ C_{tot} $)**

$$
C_{tot} = C_{int} + C_{EXT} = 9.8~fF + 15~fF = 24.8~fF
$$

### **Step 3: Dynamic Power Formula**

$$
P_{dyn} = \alpha_{out} \cdot C_{tot} \cdot V_{DD}^2 \cdot f_{in}
$$

Plug in values:
- $ \alpha_{out} = .319 $
- $ C_{tot} = 24.8 \times 10^{-15}~F $
- $ V_{DD} = 1.5~V $
- $ f_{in} = 150 \times 10^6~Hz $

$$
P_{dyn} = .319 \times 24.8 \times 10^{-15} \times (1.5)^2 \times 150 \times 10^6
$$
$$
= .319 \times 24.8 \times 2.25 \times 150 \times 10^{-9}
$$
$$
= .319 \times 24.8 = 7.9112
$$
$$
7.9112 \times 2.25 = 17.8002
$$
$$
17.8002 \times 150 = 267.03
$$
$$
267.03 \times 10^{-9} = 2.67 \times 10^{-6}~\text{W} = 2.67~\mu\text{W}
$$

## **Summary of Answers**

### **(a) Internal Capacitance Estimate**
$$
\boxed{C_{int} \approx 9.8~\text{fF}}
$$

### **(b) Dynamic Power Consumption**
