  1. Electrical characteristics of logic gates, Timing characteristics of logic gates, and Electrical and timing constraints in logic circuits (Lecture #13) ECE 331 – Digital System Design The slides included herein were taken from the materials accompanying Fundamentals of Logic Design, 6th Edition, by Roth and Kinney, and were used with permission from Cengage Learning.

  2. ECE 331 - Digital System Design Representing Logic Values • In a real circuit, logic values must be represented by an electrical characteristic. • In TTL and CMOS circuits, voltage levels, or more accurately, voltage ranges are used to represent each of the logic values. • These voltage ranges are specified in the data sheet for each of the standard components. • They must be considered when designing (and building) combinational logic circuits.

  3. Voltage VDD supply voltage Logic 1 V1,min Undefined V0,max Logic 0 VSS ground Representing Logic Values

  4. ECE 331 - Digital System Design Representing Logic Values • There are 4 voltages defined for each standard logic gate. • VOH Output-High Voltage • VOL Output-Low Voltage • VIH Input-High Voltage • VIL Input-Low Voltage • The logic values, logic 0 and logic 1, are defined by these voltages.

  5. ECE 331 - Digital System Design VIH VOH VIL VOL Representing Logic Values • VIL and VIH specify the voltages that define the voltage range for logic 0 and logic 1, respectively, at the input of the logic gate. • VOL and VOH specify the voltages that define the voltage range for logic 0 and logic 1, respectively, at the output of the logic gate.

  6. Voltage VDD supply voltage Logic 1 (output) VOH Logic 1 (input) VIH Undefined VIL Logic 0 (input) VOL Logic 0 (output) VSS ground Representing Logic Values

  7. ECE 331 - Digital System Design Current Limits • Standard logic devices are limited by how much current they can source and how much current they can sink. • There are 4 currents defined for each standard logic gate. • IOH Output-High Current (source) • IOL Output-Low Current (sink) • IIH Input-High Current (source) • IIL Input-Low Current (sink) • These currents determine how many logic gates can be interconnected.

  8. ECE 331 - Digital System Design Logic Gate Delay • A standard logic gate does not respond to a change in its input(s) instantaneously. • There is, instead, a finite delay between a change in the input and a change in the output. • The propagation delay of a standard logic gate is defined for two cases: • tPLH = delay for output to change from low to high • tPHL = delay for output to change from high to low

  9. ECE 331 - Digital System Design Logic Gate Delay

  10. ECE 331 - Digital System Design Logic Gate Delay • The gate delay (or propagation delay) is used to determine • When outputs are valid • The maximum speed of a combinational logic circuit • The maximum frequency of a sequential logic circuit

  17. ECE 331 - Digital System Design Noise Margin • Noise margin is a measure of the noise immunity provided by a digital logic circuit. • Noise margin is dependent upon the characteristic voltages specified for the standard logic devices. • Noise margin is specified for both the logic 0 value and the logic 1 value: • NMH = VOH – VIH Noise Margin High • NML = VIL – VOL Noise Margin Low

  19. ECE 331 - Digital System Design Fan-out • Fan-out is the number of gate inputs that can be properly driven by a single gate output • Current must flow between logic gates • Current requirements are dictated by logic gate technology (i.e. the logic family). • Current limits fan-out • DC Fan-out is the fan-out when the output is at steady-state. • Both high (1) and low (0) output states must be considered when implementing logic circuit design • Select worst-case as limit

  20. ECE 331 - Digital System Design N 1 f To inputs of x n other inverters Fan-out Fan-out is determined by taking the ratio of the output current (IOH, IOL) of the driving device to the input current (IIH, IIL) of the load device(s).

  21. ECE 331 - Digital System Design Fan-out • Low-state Fan-out = Floor[ IOL_max (driver) / IIL_max (load) ] • High-state Fan-out = Floor[ IOH_max (driver) / IIH_max (load) ] • Design the logic circuit based on the minimum of the two fan-out limits.

  22. ECE 331 - Digital System Design Fan-out • Exceeding fan-out limits leads to • Increase in output-low voltage (VOL) • And possibly the wrong logic state • Decrease in output-high voltage (VOH) • And possibly the wrong logic state • Increase in temperature • And possible destruction of the circuit / device • Increase in propagation delay

  24. ECE 331 - Digital System Design Electrical Constraints in Circuit Design • Devices in the same logic family have the same electrical characteristics. • Devices in different logic families often have different electrical characteristics. • In order to interconnect devices of different logic families: • Must consider the voltage levels of the driving and load devices. • Must consider the current sourced and sunk by the driving and load devices, respectively.

  25. ECE 331 - Digital System Design Electrical Constraints in Circuit Design • Voltage • The VOH of the driving device must be greater than the VIH of the load device. • The VOL of the driving device must be less than the VIL of the load device. • Must consider the noise margin • Current • The driving device sources current for one or more load devices. • Must consider the fan-out limit for the driving device.
