Abstract

This study uses differential pass transistor methodology for implementing and evaluating Boolean functions. The main goal is investigation of CMOS and nMOS approaches in pass transistor logic design. Pass-transistor logic is most effective in the implementation of Boolean functions when the vectors are in the same format. It has been demonstrated that nMOS pass transistor logic driven by a control signal voltage above the Vdd level offers a significant improvement in speed. nMOS pass transistorsalso offer less area consumption in comparison to the CMOS approach.

The philosophy developed here has been used in the design of a program for the layout generation of pass transistor networks. This program has been applied to the design of a 4-to-1 multiplexer and an adder (sum and carry). The layout of the circuit sub-cell have been done using the program Magic, based on 3μ CMOS p-well technology.
