Perform DC Analysis, AC Analysis and Transient Analysis for the Inverter circuit :
INVERTER DESIGN
To design an inverter a PMOS and an NMOS are required. Hence click on the left hand side device list for NMOS and the following window pops up.
Page 5
As is visible on the left hand side an NMOS transistor is displayed. Click on Instance button and the following window comes up.
To change the name of the device the new name can be changed by giving a new name in the instance name box. The device is selected and pasted on the cell window by click on the right button of the mouse. To come out of this mode press ESC button. The size of the device can be reduced or increased by scrolling the window.
Page 6
Similarly select the pMOS device also and paste it in the cell window as shown in the snap shot given below.
Page 7
To connect the devices we need a wire which is available by clicking the button on the top menu. Connect the gates and the drains of the PMOS and NMOS devices as shown below.
Page 8
To select the sources click on the MISC option on the left hand side window. Now select GND and give it to the nMOS source as shown below and connect it using wire.
Page 9
Similarly select VDD and connect it to the source of the PMOS as shown below.
Page 10
To do DC analysis select DC source from the path given below which is on the left hand side of the window. SPICE _ ELEMENTS -----Voltage source The voltage source is renamed as Vdc and pasted on the cell screen and the +ve terminal is connected to the gates and the ve terminal is connected to GND as shown below.
Page 11
To give a voltage range of your choice take another instance of Voltage source and in the properties window give the voltage range as 3.3 Volts as shown below. Connect bulk of PMOS and NMOS transistors to the source of the devices using wire. Also give the labels to the nodes by clicking L on the top menu and give appropriate lable name such as where Vdd is given, give the label name as Vdd, where GND is connected give GND and input node name as in and output node name as out as shown below.
Page 12
To print input and output voltages select Spice_Commands on the left hand side window and then select the printvoltage option below and paste it on the cell nodes where ever it is required. In the properties of Print Voltage select DC .In this case it is in the IN and OUT node as shown below.
Page 13
To conduct DC analysis click on Setup Simulation button which is a on the top menu next to the simulation button. Then the following window pops up.
Page 14
Select DC sweep analysis on the window and give the following parameters. Source or parameter name should be the input source to be sweeped. In this case it is Vdc. Since h Spice code by default takes all voltage sources with a V prefixed, the source name will be VVdc.
Page 15
start value = 0 Stop value = 3.3 Step = 0.1 Click on General.Here we have to give SPICE File Name, File Search Path and Library Files. SPICE File Name is the spice file which is created with the extension .tanner. File Search Path is got by selecting the path below by browsing My Documents/ Tanner EDA /Tanner EDA tools V13.0/Libraries/ Models In the Library files path give the library file path as below. My Documents/ Tanner EDA /Tanner EDA tools V13.0/Libraries/ Models/Generic _0.25lib TT Do not forget to add TT after selecting the generic file. Next select the spice file i.e. .sp file from the folder created by the user. Now the window will look as given below.
Page 16
Next click OK button. Run the simulation. Next T Spice will open automatically and will give the spice netlist as shown below
Page 17
If there are no errors, W-EDIT which is the waveform editor will open automatically and display the waveform expected as shown below.
Page 18
Transient Analysis. For doing the transient analysis, one has to use an pulse source. Hence in the S-Edit, remove the DC source and use the Pulse source by selecting the Spice elements in the left hand side menu and select the Voltage source in the options and in the interface select Pulse instead of DC. The rise time, fall time, pulse width, period etc specifications can also be given as per the design specification.
Page 19
Now paste the pulse source instead of the DC source in the S EDIT window as shown below.
In the properties window of the Pulse source change the name and give vHigh as 3.3 V and vLow as 0 V. Select the print voltage and change the print analysis for both the node in their respective properties and select TRAN option.
Page 20
Select setup simulation option and select transient / fourier analysis option. In that enter the following parameters. Stop Time: 2u Maximum Time step: 1u Print Start Time: 1n Print Time step: 10n Use initial Conditions: False Startup mode: Op Again check for the library file, spice file etc in the general option as listed in the DC analysis section. Once all the parameters are entered successfully , click OK and save the cell design. Once this is done run the simulation by clicking on the simulation button. Again T Spice opens automatically and runs the spice compilation and if there are no errors, W-EDIT opens automatically and the waveform is displayed as shown below.
Page 21
It is clearly visible that the input and output waveforms are inverted.
AC Analysis. The AC analysis is done by selecting AC input voltage source from the Spice_ Elements options. In the properties window of the AC voltage source enter
Page 22
Mag = 1m Phase = 90 And Vdc which is the bias voltage and is calculated from dc analysis. This is approximately 1.5V A capacitor has to be put at the output node for AC analysis. A capacitor of 1nF or 1pF is sufficient. The value of the capacitor is calculated depending on the design specification. The schematic looks as below.
Page 23
Once these parameters are setup, select the properties of Print voltage and select AC in the analysis window. Once all the settings are done, click on setup simulation icon. Now select AC analysis and enter the following parameters Start Frequency : 10 Stop Frequency: 100000K Number of frequencies: 20 Sweep Type: dec Analysis Name: AC Again check for the library files and the spice file paths as in the case of previous analysis case and click OK.
