1 Switching (AC) Characteristics of MOS Inverters Prof. MacDonald 1
2 MOS Inverters l Performance is inversely proportional to delay l Delay is time to raise (lower) voltage at nodes node voltage is changed by charging (discharging) load cap more current means more charge transported over time Q = I t = C V C V t delay = Q / I = I 2
3 MOS Inverters junction cap gate cap wire cap particularly bad when driving a load far away. 3
4 MOS Inverters Lumped cap CL=Cgdn+Cgdp+Cdbn+Cdbp+Cw+Cg 4
5 MOS Inverters discharge delay input output Lumped cap CL=Cgdn+Cgdp+Cdbn+Cdbp+Cw+Cg 5 time
6 MOS Inverters charge delay 0V Lumped cap CL=Cgdn+Cgdp+Cdbn+Cdbp+Cw+Cg 6 time
7 Propagation Delay T plh time T plh 7 Defined twice once for a falling output and once for a rising output. The propagation delay is the delay from the input crossing the 50% point of Vdd to the resulting output signal crossing of the 50% point. Tplh = Rising propagation delay Tphl = Falling propagation delay
8 Rise and Fall Times T rise time The rise time is the time for the signal to cross from 10% to 90% of Vdd. The fall time is the time for the signal to cross from 90% to 10% of Vdd. T fall 8 If an inverter is driven by a signal with a really slow rise or fall time, the delay through the inverter is aggravated and since the inverter is in the transition region longer, a lot of short circuit current can be generated.
9 Rise and Fall Times T rise time T rise time If excessive rise or fall times exists, fix them by cranking up drive source or decreasing the load. Increasing drive strength usually means widening transistors. 9 Decreasing the load usually means splitting up load with buffers.
10 Calculating Delay Times T plh time 10 Simplest approach is to use average current and average capacitance models to calculate propagation delays for both edges. τ τ plh phl = = C C load I load I ΔV avghl ΔV avghl hl lh
11 MOS Inverters fall delay Reqn output V out ( t) = V dd t Rn e C l 11 time
12 MOS Inverters rise delay Reqp V out ( t) = V dd (1 e t RpC l ) 12 time
13 Combating delays l Reduce Capacitive load drive fewer gates buffer tree drive smaller gates (less gate capacitance) in subsequent stage drive closer gates (less distance means less interconnect load) l Increase Drive current reduce Vt not really an option for circuit designers reduce L s most transistors are minimum sized for area increase Vdd can t because of gate oxide integrity increase Weff main weapon of circuit designer l Reduce wire lengths for long wires (more later ) 13
14 Delay vs. Width diminishing returns because of increased junction cap with larger transistors. Also will add to load of previous stage and slow total circuit path
15 Power*Delay vs Width
16 Interconnect Delays l As technology scales devices tend to get faster interconnects tend to get slower l Resistance goes up with each shrink motivation for new metals (aluminum to copper transition) l Capacitance goes up with each shrink motivation for low K dielectrics cross-coupling between parallel-running signals l slower l noisy l Inductance is generally ignored for on-chip simulation 16

18 Parasitic capacitance Capacitance per unit length of wire to supply planes or other fixed or non-active signals Low K dielectric helps to reduce this cap. metal 1 18 Substrate (ground plane)
19 Cross-coupling capacitance As spacing between lines decreases, coupling cap between the signals increases. Not a big problem from one level to another because lines run orthogonal (i.e. metal 1 and metal 2 signals). However, for lines on same metal that run long distances in parallel, this can cause significant problems and is the subject of current research efforts on design automation. victim metal 1 19 Substrate (ground plane)
20 Cross-coupling capacitance Consider a simple 3 bit bus running long distance. The first impression is that the coupling cap seen by the inner line is 2X because of the sandwich effect. Now consider if the bus carried the value 3 b010 and then switched the next cycle to 3 b101. The voltage swing relative to the inner line would be 2 x Vdd so the effective capacitance would not 2x but 4x greater. 20

24 Minimizing Coupling Capacitance l Wire spreaders are tools that search through a routed design and find places where signals can be spread. l Noise sensitive signals (i.e. clock signal) can be shielded by running fixed signals (i.e. gnd, vdd) between clock and other signals. l Technologies are being developed that raise the permittivity of the inter layer dielectric. problems persist with this new materials thermal cycling the material causes ruptures due to differences in the thermal expansion coefficient. 24

30 Long Lines and RC Delays Interconnect RC Delay through a metal line is quadratially related to length. Consequently, it is basically non-existent for lengths less than 100 u (local region), but grows quickly. τ ( R L) ( C L) = R 2 C L Lcrit = FO R C 30
31 Long Lines and RC Delays Buffer can cut down on L and decrease interconnect delay quadratically of course device delay is inserted but many times the overall delay goes down. 100ps 400ps 100ps L ps total
32 Long Lines and RC Delays If distance L has 400ps of RC delay, then a distance of L/2 will have 100ps of delay - (L/2) 2 or ¼ of the delay. 100ps 100ps 150ps 100ps 100ps L/2 L/ ps total
33 Long Lines and RC Delays If distance L has 400ps of RC delay, then a distance of L/3 will have 45ps of delay - (L/3) 2 or 1/9 of the delay. 100ps 45ps 100ps 45ps 100ps 45ps 100ps L/3 L/3 L/ ps total
34 Note on RC delays and Vdd RC values are not affected by Vdd values to the first order. Device delay however is related by the square of the voltage. 100ps 45ps 100ps 45ps 100ps 45ps 100ps Vdd= 1.8V L/3 L/3 L/3 400ps 45ps 400ps 45ps 400ps 45ps 400ps Vdd= 0.9V 34 L/3 L/3 L/3
35 Interconnect models distance down wire First compare time of flight to rise times. If flight isn t 5x smaller than rise time, you need a sophisticated model like a transmissionline model. Long lines across the chip have long time of flights. Otherwise, you can get away with using a lumped RC model. Lumped models are normally all that is need for CMOS. 35 for 100 microns, t = D/V = (1/1000) / (3e8) = 3 ps for 2 cm (across chip) t = D/V = 0.02 / 3e8 = 60 ps typical rise times will be from 50 to 500 ps
36 Interconnect models distance down wire In this example the time of flight is shorter than rise/fall time. Most typical example on chips and only requires lumped RC model. 36
37 RC Models Simple Lumped Model T Model Distributed Model 37
38 Inverter sizing and Fanout To drive a huge load with a small inverter we need a string of inverters to ramp up the capacitive gain. If inverter is too small, will have difficult time charging next stage. If inverter is too large, it will overload the previous inverter.
