The truth table is a table to represent the relation between the input and the output

Inverting and Non-Inverting (Buffer)

IDEAL LOGIC ELEMENTS

Ideal Inverter

One power supply (Vcc) typical operating voltage of many logic families is 5VIcc is zero (ideal)Pcc is zero (ideal) – power dissipated

Vin < Vcc/2 Vout is logical 1 (Vcc)Vin > Vcc/2 Vout is logical 0Vin = Vcc/2 Unpredictable results (Should be avoided)CMOS logic family is the nearest to ideal

Voltage Transfer Characteristic

Transient Response

Ideal input and output Gate Impedances

Model of the input and the output impedance of a logic inverter

For multiple output (referred to as Fan-out) the logic gates is directly dependent upon the gate’s input and output impedances

Static driving of Multiple (Identical) Inverters

Iout = N Íin

For very large input resistance, the input current is zero, and the driving capabilities are maximized.Ideally, the infinite input resistance is desired because given infinite driving capability.

But for cascaded inverters with infinite input resistance the input capacitance of load gates must be charged through the output resistance of driving inverter

For small output resistance the charging current is large and faster switching time Zero output resistance, for ideally For small capacitance, faster switching when fewer gates

Inverting Voltage transfer characteristics

VOH= Output High VoltageVm= Midpoint VoltageVOL= Output Low VoltageVIH= Input High VoltageVIL= Input Low VoltageVTW= Transition Width = VIH – VIL

VLS= Logic Swing Voltage = VOH – VOL

At Vm Vin = Vout

Noise in Digital CircuitsNoise Margins: High noise Margin VNMH =VOH – VIH

Low noise Margin VNML =VIL – VOL

Noise Sensitivities: High noise Sensitivity VNSH =VOH – Vm

Low noise Sensitivity VNSL =Vm – VOL

Noise Immunities: Is the ability of a gate to reject the noiseHigh noise Immunity VNIH = VNSH /(VOH – VOL)

Low noise Immunity VNIL = VNSL /(VOH – VOL)

(VOH – VOL)= VLS

Fan-In and Fan-OutThe maximum Fan-out possible during the driving gate’s logical “1” output state is

The maximum Fan-out possible during the driving gate’s logical “0” output state is

The maximum Fan-out possible is the smallest value. The maximum Fan-out possible is an Integer number. If the Maximum Fan-out is not integer, should be use Integer number less than the actual value.

Transient CharacteristicsDigital logic circuits have finite switching speeds

Propagation delayWhen the input voltage changes from one level to another, the output voltage response is delayed in time

VOH < Vcc

td = delay timetr = rise timets = storage timetf= fall timetON= td+tr = turn on timetOFF= ts+tf

= turn off time tr and tf are associated with charging and discharging load capacitancetd and ts are associated with stored charge of PN Junction

Switching Speed Definitions

Propagation Delay Times

tPLH = low to high propagation delay timetPHL = high to low propagation delay timetp (ave.) = (tPLH + tPHL) / 2

Power DissipationWe have two power dissipated valuesPcc(OH) output highPcc(OL) output lowThe average power dissipation

Power-delay product

For faster propagation delay times, the power dissipation will be increase, while the lower power dissipation results in longer propagation delay times.

Power-delay product = Speed-power product

PD = PDiss(ave)*tP(ave) (Joules)
