It consists of one XOR gate and one AND gate. The XOR
gate is realised using two NOR gates and one AND gate. The
AND gate is realised by connecting the output of a NAND
gate as input to the inverter. The OR gate is realised by
connecting the output of a NOR gate as input to the
inverter.
The load capacitance for the gate in the last stage, which
has to drive the next stage, is 30 fF and for all the other
gates, the value of the load capacitance is 10 fF (including
the input capacitance of the next stage). The supply for all
