How do you go from gate level to transistor level?

Is there a good method to go from circuit at gate level or truth table to transistor level, other than trial and error? I have an example here to illustate what I am asking. We have the function \$X=(...

Details regarding PMOS and NMOS transistors used as gates

My lab instructor explained very briefly what transistors are and started by naming them NPN and PNP then switched to PMOS and NMOS and I (as well as my classmates) am very confused, I need someone to ...

Why not switching extra inverters with opposite MOSFETs in CMOS XOR gate?

Below you can see a CMOS XOR gate. I wonder why we do not change extra inverters like A' or B' with opposite MOSFETs. For example, could not we just put the green construction in the place of red ...

Using Transistors as Logic Gates

I am curious if this could work. I have 3 inputs (A,B,C) and I know that Input A takes the longest to calculate. Is it possible to use single Transistors in place of normal AND Gates so that a signal ...

How to size CMOS transistors

I am new to CMOS technology and I am trying to learn about CMOS logic gates. I have a problem with transistors sizing. As far as I could understand the main idea is to obtain equal rise and fall times....

NMOS/PMOS logic vs. CMOS logic

With PMOS and NMOS, one can deduce that it is off, if Vgs < Vt (NMOS) || Vsg < Vt (PMOS) id = 0. Now my question rests on the dependency of these conditions. I know proving condition 1 ...

PMOS and NMOS in cut-off

I am confused regarding the voltages of NMOS and PMOS. For a NMOS, let us say it is in cut-off, thus making Id = 0. Then does that mean Vds = 0? I was initially under the assumption that Vds can be ...

Tristate logic equivalent in NMOS logic

Suppose I have 3 signals generated by NMOS logic. Each of those signals has an associated enable pin that when driven high will result in the value of the signal appearing on the output (I should note ...

Help with NMOS Gate question

In this picture, when v1 and v2 are 0, M1,M2 are on and M3,M4 are off. V_T(threshold) = 1.7V, V_DD = 5V. Why is it that M1 and M2 are ON under these conditions? I thought when there is no power ...

Create a CMOS circuit from a logic function [duplicate]

I have to create a CMOS circuit from the logic function: F= ~A + B (notA or B). I made the truth table but I'm stuck here trying to make the CMOS circuit. Any ideas anyone? Thanks! I know it's the ...
