Lecture 4 - 2
In between, Vout depends on current through transistors as determined by transistor width and length By KCL, steady state condition is: Idsn = |Idsp| Find transfer function by solving equations, but better insight using graphical method

Delay Estimation
Need to estimate delay without circuit simulation e.g. SPICE
Not as accurate as simulation But easier to ask What if?
RC Delay Models
For each MOS transistor
Assume ideal switch + capacitance + ON resistance Unit nMOS has resistance R, gate capacitance C Unit pMOS has resistance 2R, gate capacitance C Capacitance width ON resistance 1/width
The step response usually looks like a 1st order RC response with a decaying exponential Use RC delay models to estimate delay
C = total capacitance on output node Use effective resistance R so that t pd = RC
Characterize transistors by finding their effective R depends on average current as gate switches
