CMOS Logic Gates Using Verilog HDL

  CMOS Logic Gate Design 

Hello Dear Readers,

This section describes how to used a low-level CMOS transistor to design basic digital logic gates and its implementation in Verilog HDL.

In CMOS technology, both PMOS as well as NMOS transistors, are used. PMOS is active when the input signal will be 0(Low) level, and NMOS is active when the input signal will be 1(High) level. In below figures show the basic design of the CMOS inverter, NAND, NOR gates. We know if we made AND or OR gate from NAND or NOR respectively, then we need two more transistors of the inverter. That's why we see in the gate array chips contain an array of the universal gates only.




In the below section, I have written the whole Verilog code of all the gates with testbench code.

Verilog Code:

module CMOS_Gates(input a,b,output f,f1,f2
    );
supply1 vdd;
supply0 gnd;
wire w1,w2;

//NOT gate
// pmos (drain, source, gate);
pmos t1 (f, vdd, a);
// nmos (drain, source, gate);
nmos t2 (f, gnd, a);

//NAND gate

// pmos (drain, source, gate);
pmos t3 (f1, vdd, a);
pmos t4 (f1, vdd, b);
// nmos (drain, source, gate);
nmos t5 (f1, w_n, a);
nmos t6 (w1, gnd, b);

//NOR gate

// nmos (drain, source, gate);
nmos t7 (f2, gnd, a);
nmos t8 (f2, gnd, b);
// pmos (drain, source, gate);
pmos t9 (w2, vdd, a);
pmos t10 (f2, w2, b);

endmodule

module tb();
reg a,b;
wire f;
CMOS_Gates DUT (a,b,f,f1,f2);
initial 
begin
   a=0; b=1;
#1 a=1; b=0;
#1 a=0; b=1;
#1 $finish;
end
initial 
begin
$monitor("%2d:\ta = %b\tb=%b\tf = %b\tf1 = %b\tf2 = %b",$time,a,b,f,f1,f2);
end
endmodule
 
Here supply0, supply1, pmos, and nmos are keywords that stand for ground, power supply, PMOS transistor, and NMOS transistor, respectively. Here testbench program is also written with an input signal a,b, and output f,f1,f2 is corresponding to the NOT, NAND, NOR gate.

Thanks for Reading,
If you have any doubts related to this Verilog code, just write them in the comments. I will be giving a reply as soon as possible.

Best Book for Designing Microarchitecture of Microprocessor Using Verilog HDL

  Hello Dear Readers, Currently, after succeeding in many topics now I starting to provide technical book reviews which were I have completed and still read books always. So let us start today's book review. Book Name:   Computer Principles and Design in Verilog  HDL Description:  Uses Verilog HDL to illustrate computer architecture and microprocessor design, allowing readers to readily simulate and adjust the operation of each design, and thus build industrially relevant skills Introduces the computer principles, computer design, and how to use Verilog HDL (Hardware Description Language) to implement the design Provides the skills for designing processor/arithmetic/cpu chips, including the unique application of Verilog HDL material for CPU (central processing unit) implementation Despite the many books on Verilog and computer architecture and microprocessor design, few, if any, use Verilog as a key tool in helping a student to understand these design techniques...
