Question 8 Figure 2 shows the intersection of two roads. Vehicle-detection sensors are placed along lanes A, B, C and D. The sensor outputs are LOW (0) when no vehicle is present, and HIGH (1) when a vehicle is present. The intersection traffic light is controlled as follow: i) ii) iii) iv) v) The E-W traffic light will be green whenever both lanes C and D are occupied. The E-W light will be green whenever either C or D is occupied but lanes A and B are not both occupied. The N-S light will be green whenever both lanes A and B are occupied but C and D are not both occupied. The N-S light will also be green when either lane A or B is occupied while C and D are both vacant. The E-W light will be green when no vehicles are present.
Using the sensor outputs A, B, C and D as inputs, design a logic circuit to control the traffic light. There should be 2 outputs, N-S and E-W, which become 1 when the corresponding light is to be green.

The Inputs are normally held low during the period of Pre-charge. During the evaluate cycle, input A is at logic High and input B, C and D are at logic Low. The Output node drives an inverter with a switching threshold (VTn) of 2.8V. CP is the capacitance at the source-drain node of the series pull-down network and CL is the capacitance at the intermediate Output node of the logic gate. Calculate the maximum ratio of CP / CL required to ensure that charge sharing will not corrupt the final output value.
