Static CMOS and Dynamic Circuits
Static circuits:
• Circuits in which at every point in time (except during the
switching transients), each gate output is connected to
either VDD or Vss via a low-resistance path.
• Also, the outputs of the gates assume at all times the value
of the Boolean function implemented by the circuit.
Dynamic circuits:
• Circuits which rely on temporary storage of signal values on
the capacitance of high-impedance circuit nodes.
• This approach has the advantage that the resulting gate is
simpler and faster.
Static CMOS Design
• The static CMOS style is an extension of the static
CMOS inverter to multiple inputs.
• The primary advantages of the CMOS structure are:
– robustness (i.e, low sensitivity to noise),
– good performance, and
– low power consumption with no static power dissipation
– Implementation of logic gates is simple.
• The complementary CMOS circuit style falls under a
broad class of logic circuits called static circuits.
Complementary CMOS
Note: The PUN and PDN networks are constructed in a mutually exclusive fashion such
that one and only one of the networks is conducting in steady state.
Static Properties of CMOS gates
• Rail to rail swing with VOH = VDD and VOL =
GND.
• No static power dissipation, since the circuits
are designed such that the pull-down and pull-
up networks are mutually exclusive
• Noise margins and the propagation delay
depends on the data input patterns applied to
gate.
