33 Computing the Capacitances

34 Design for Performance Keep capacitances small Increase transistor sizes watch out for self-loading! Increase V DD (????)

35 NMOS/PMOS ratio 5 x tplh tphl 4.5 t p (sec) 4 tp β = W p /W n β

38 Impact of Rise Time on Delay t phl (nsec) t rise (nsec) 0.8 1

39 Inverter Sizing

40 Inverter Chain In Out C L If C L is given: - How many stages are needed to minimize the delay? - How to size the inverters? May need some additional constraints.

41 Inverter Delay Minimum length devices, L=0.25μm Assume that for W P = 2W N =2W same pull-up and pull-down currents approx. equal resistances R N = R P approx. equal rise t plh and fall t phl delays Analyze as an RC network 1 1 W R N unit W unit WP R P = Runit = RN = W unit R W 2W W Delay (D): t phl = (ln 2) R N C L Load for the next stage: W Cgin = 3 W t plh = (ln 2) R P C L unit C unit

42 Inverter with Load Delay R W C L R W Load (C L ) t p = kr W C L k is a constant, equal to 0.69 Assumptions: no load -> zero delay W unit = 1

43 Inverter with Load C P = 2C unit 2W Delay W C int C L C N = C unit Load Delay = kr W (C int + C L ) = kr W C int + kr W C L = kr W C int (1+ C L /C int ) = Delay (Internal) + Delay (Load)

44 Delay Formula Delay ~ R W ( C + C ) int L t p = kr W C int ( 1 + C / C ) = t ( 1 + f / γ ) L int p 0 C int = γc gin with γ 1 f = C L /C gin - effective fanout R = R unit /W ; C int =WC unit t p0 = 0.69R unit C unit

45 Apply to Inverter Chain In Out 1 2 N C L t p = t p1 + t p2 + + t pn C gin, j+ 1 t + pj ~ RunitCunit 1 γcgin, j N N C gin j t p = t p j = t, + 1, p0 1 +, Cgin N = j i C, + 1 = 1 = 1 γ gin, j C L

46 Optimal Tapering for Given N Delay equation has N - 1 unknowns, C gin,2 C gin,n Minimize the delay, find N - 1 partial derivatives Result: C gin,j+1 /C gin,j = C gin,j /C gin,j-1 Size of each stage is the geometric mean of two neighbors C gin, j = Cgin, j 1C gin, j+ 1 - each stage has the same effective fanout (C out /C in ) - each stage has the same delay

47 Optimum Delay and Number of Stages When each stage is sized by f and has same eff. fanout f: N f = F = C Effective fanout of each stage: L / Cgin,1 Minimum path delay p f = N F t = Nt + p0 ( 1 /γ ) N F

48 Example In C 1 1 f f 2 Out C L = 8 C 1 C L /C 1 has to be evenly distributed across N = 3 stages: f = 3 8 = 2

49 Optimum Number of Stages For a given load, C L and given input capacitance C in Find optimal sizing f t p = Nt t C f p0 p L = F C t ln F f γ ln f f 1 γ f = 0 2 ln f γ ln f ( 1/ N ) p0 F / γ + 1 = + = t p0 ln γ F ln For γ = 0, f = e, N = lnf in = f N C with N = in f ln ln F f = exp 1+ ( γ f )

50 Optimum Effective Fanout f Optimum f for given process defined by γ f = exp 1+ ( γ f ) f opt = 3.6 for γ=1

51 Impact of Self-Loading on tp No Self-Loading, γ=0 With Self-Loading γ= u/ln(u) 40.0 x=10,000 x= x=100 x= u
