Abstract :
Scaling of serially-connected MOSFETs results in reduced propagation delays and power dissipation. Delay formulae and optimum scaling factors are derived as functions of capacitive load, diffusion capacitance and number of MOSFETs in the serially-connected chain using exponential-scaling and linear-scaling methods
