• For the first two cases, (i) and (ii), the NOR circuit
reduces to a simple nMOS depletion load inverter.
Depletion nMos Loads :Two I/P NOR Gate
So VOL for case (iii) is lower than the VOL, values calculated for
case (i) and for case (ii), when only one input is logic-high.
Depletion nMos Loads :Two I/P NOR Gate
Conclusion: Worst-case condition from the static operation
viewpoint, i.e., the highest possible VOL, value, is observed in
case (i) or in (ii). for NOR gates.
Design Strategy : Achieve a certain maximum VOL for the
worst case, i.e., when only one input is high.Thus, we assume
that one input (either VA or VB ) is logic-high and determine the
driver- to-load ratio of the resulting inverter using VOL eqn for
case (i). Then set

Neglecting the substrate-Bias effect, and assuming that the threshold
voltages of all transistors are equal to VTO, the driver current ID, in the
linear region can be derived as
