TRANSIENT CHARACTERISTIC ANALYSIS OF HIGH TEMPERATURE CMOS DIGITAL INTEGRATED CIRCUITS

This paper analyses the transient characteristics of high temperature CMOS inverters and gate circuits, and gives the computational formulas of their rise time, fall time and delay time. It may be concluded that the transient characteristics of CMOS inverters and gate circuits deteriorate due to the reduction of carrier mobilities and threshold voltages of MOS transistors and the increase of leakage currents of MOS transistors drain terminal pn junctions. The calculation results can explain the experimental phenomenon.
