CASE ANALYSIS
Scenario
Design of a compact CMOS XNOR gate for custom VLSI digital logic, where a single 3-input exclusive-nor function is needed without relying on a standard-cell library.
Key decisions
- Decompose XNOR into two cascaded transmission-gate XOR stages and a final inverter
- Use external complementary inputs (A, A_b, B, B_b, C, C_b) to eliminate internal inverters for the first stage
- Include one local inverter to generate X_b from the intermediate XOR output
When to reuse this
Suitable when designing dedicated logic blocks in full-custom CMOS, optimizing for area and speed by avoiding pre‑built standard cells.
