초록

본 논문에서는 전압모드를 기초로 한 2진-4치 상호 변환기와 논리 게이트의 기본 소자라고 할 수 있는 4치 인버터회로를 설계하였다. 2진-4치 변환기는 2비트의 2진 신호를 입력으로 하여 1디지트의 4치 신호를 출력하는 회로이고 4치-2진 변환기는 1디지트의 4치 신호를 받아들여 2비트의 2진 신호를 출력하는 회로이며 Down-literal Circuit(DLC)블록과 2진 조합회로(CLC : Combinational Logic Circuit)블록으로 구성된다. 4치 인버터회로를 구현함에 있어서는 기준전압 생성 및 제어신호 생성을 모두 DLC를 사용하고 스위치 부분만을 일반 MOS로 사용하여 설계하였다. 설계된 회로들은 +3V 단일 공급 전원에서 0.35㎛ N-well doubly-poly four-metal CMOS technology의 파라미터를 사용한 Hspice를 이용하여 모의 실험을 하였다. 모의 실험 결과는 샘플링 레이트가 250MHz, 소비 전력은 0.6mW, 출력은 0.1V이내의 범위에서 전압레벨을 유지하는 결과를 보였다.

In this paper, Binary to Quaternary Converter(BQC), Quaternary to Binary Converter(QBC) and Quaternary inverter circuit, which is the basic logic gate, have been proposed based on voltage mode. The BQC converts the two bit input binary signals to one digit quaternary output signal. The QBC converts the one digit quaternary input signal to two bit binary output signals. And two circuits consist of Down-literal circuit(DLC) and combinational logic block(CLC). In the implementation of quaternary inverter circuit, DLC is used for reference voltage generation and control signal, only switch part is implemented with conventional MOS transistors. The proposed circuits are simulated in 0.35 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ N-well doubly-poly four-metal CMOS technology with a single +3V supply voltage. Simulation results of these circuit show 250MHz sampling rate, 0.6mW power consumption and maintain output voltage level in 0.1V.
