• T1 and T2 are P channel MOSFETs,T3 and T4 are

N channel MOSFETs.

• With high inputs the p-channel MOSFETs are turned

to OFF condition and the n-channel MOSFETs are

turned to ON condition.

• When both inputs A and B are high,T1 and T2 are

turned to OFF state and T3 and T4 into ON state.

• Hence the output is low

CM305.24 5
• When the input A is low , B is high T1 is

in ON state and T4 is in OFF state.

• T2 will be still in the OFF state and T3 is in ON state.

• Since the MOSFETs T3 and T4 are in series the

output voltage will be high .

• The output is high even if the input A is high and

B is low.

CM305.24 6
• If both the inputs are low , then both the

MOSFETs T1 and T2 are turned to ON state

and MOSFETs T3 and T4 into OFF state.

• Then the output Y is high .

• Therefore this circuit works as a NAND gate.

Comparison of TTL NAND gate with CMOS NAND
gate
• The CMOS fabrication process is simpler than
TTL and provides a greater packing density.

• The power dissipation of CMOS NAND gate is

lower than that of a TTL NAND gate.

• The noise immunity of CMOS NAND gate is better

than that of a TTL NAND gate

• The propagation delay of CMOS NAND gate is more

than T T L Nand gate
CM305.24 8
SUMMARY

• Basic CMOS gate is either Nand or nor gate.

• The CMOS fabrication process is simpler than TTL

and provides a greater packing density.

• The power dissipation of CMOS NAND gate is

lower than that of a TTL NAND gate.
