The palette is located in the lower right comer of the screen. A red color indicates the current
layer. Initially the selected layer in the palette is polysilicon. By using the following procedure,
you can create a manual design of the n-channel MOS.Bharat Institute Of Engineering & Technology
Analog IC Design Lab Manual
1. Fix the first comer of the box with the mouse. While keeping the mouse button pressed,
move the mouse to the opposite corner of the box. Release the button, This creates a box
in polysilicon layer as shown in Figure above. The box width should not be inferior to 2,
which is the minimum width of the polysilicon box.
2. Change the current layer into N+ diffusion by a click on the palette of the Diffusion N+
button, Make sure that the red layer is now the N+ Diffusion. Draw a n-diffusion box at
the bottom of the drawing as in Figure below. N-diffusion boxes are represented in green.
The intersection between diffusion and polysilicon creates the channel of the nMOS
device.

In the example of Figure above, three nodes appear in the cross-section of the n-channel MOS
device: the gate (red), the left diffusion called source (green) and the right diffusion called drain
(green), over a substrate (gray). A thin oxide called the gate oxide isolates the gate. Various steps
of oxidation have lead to stacked oxides on the top of the gate. The physical properties of the
source and of the drain are exactly the same. Theoretically, the source is the origin of channel
impurities. In the case of this nMOS device, the channel impurities are the electrons. Therefore,
the source is the diffusion area with the lowest voltage. The polysilicon gate floats over the
channel, and splits the diffusion into 2 zones, the source and the drain. The gate controls the
current flow from the drain to the source, both ways. A high voltage on the gate attracts electrons
below the gate, creates an electron channel and enables current to flow.
Static MOS Characteristics

the Id/Vd static characteristics of the nMOS device.

The MOS size (width and length of the channel situated at the intersection of the polysilicon gate
and the diffusion) has a strong influence on the value of the current. The MOS width is 3.25jm
and the length is 0.25um. A high gate voltage (Vg =2.5V) corresponds to the highest Id/Vd
curve. For Vg=0, no current flows. A maximum current around 1.5mA is obtained for Vg=2.5V,
Vd=2.5V, with Vs=0.0. The MOS parameters correspond to SPICE Level 3

When the gate is at zero, no channel exists so the node s1 is disconnected from the drain. When the
gate is on, the source copies the drain. It can be observed that the nMOS device drives well at zero
but poorly at the high voltage. The highest value of sI is around 2.0V, that is VDD minus the
threshold voltage. This means that the n-channel MOS device do not drives well logic signal 1, asBharat Institute Of Engineering & Technology

Theory: A basic current mirror is shown in below figure. It is composed of two transistors, of
which one, Mlis diode-connected. M1 receives the reference current Iref and measures it by
developing at its gate the voltage VGSI this voltage biases the gate of M2. Figure shows a basic
two transistor NMOS current source. The drain and source terminals of the enhanced-mode
transistor M1 are connected, which means that Mlalways biased in the saturation region because

Theory of cascade current mirro:
Current mirrors are frequently used in analog and mixed signal circuit design and because they
appear so simple, their importance is sometimes overlooked. The design of an improved
regulated cascode current mirror that offers very higher resolution and high speed. This can be
accomplished by a feedback loop consisting of an amplifier and M2 (i.e. NMOS_1) as source
follower, thereby increasing the output resistance (ideally infinite). The performance of the
circuit was analyzed using simulations based on a 130nm technology. This circuit has a
limitation that the minimum level of output swing is limited, because drain-source voltage of M1
never touches.

Objective: Design and Simulation of Cascode current mirror
TOOLS USED: 1. Operating System-Linux
2. MENTOR GRAPHICS Tool
Theory:
Current mirror circuits are widely used, especially within integrated circuit technology. The
mirror circuit generally consists of two transistors, although other devices such as FETs can be
used, and some configurations do use more than two devices in the overall circuit to obtain better
performance. The current mirror circuit gains its name because it copies or mirrors the current
flowing in one active device in another, keeping the output current constant regardless of
loading. The current being mirrored can be a constant current, or it can be a varying signal
dependent upon the requirement and hence the circuit. Conceptually, an ideal current mirror is
simply an ideal inver
ing current amplifier that reverses the current direction as well or it is a
current-controlled current source (CCS). The current mirror is used to provide bias currents and
active loads to circuits,
A cascoded current mirror device is disclosed that is capable of producing an output current
that is a direct function of an input current received by that device. The cascoded current mirror
includes at least two portions connected together in a cascode manner. Provision is also made for
feedback connection between those portions. This feedback connection can, for example, be a
buffering connection. Voltage signals are generated by this device that can be used to drive and
control additional output stages. Each such additional output stage is capable of producing an
additional output currentBharat Institute Of Engineering & Technology

Theory: The cascode configuration has a couple of advantages over the traditional common-
source amplifier. Consequently, the gain of the overall circuit is increased. Another benefit is
achieved from a speed perspective. It was stated above that one of the main benefits of the
cascode was to increase the output resistance of the common-source amplifier, thus increasing
the gain. This modification was successful because the assumption of very large drain-source of
the traditional common-source resistance is no longer valid when dealing with small geometry

Objective: To Design a High pass, first order Butterworth Filter with a cut-off frequency of
fL=1.0 kHz
TOOLS USED: 1. Operating System-Red Hat-16.02
2. MENTOR GRAPHICS Tool
Theory
The Butterworth filter is a type of signal processing filter designed to have as flat frequency
response as possible (no ripples) in the pass-band and zero roll off response in the stop-band.
Butterworth filters are one of the most commonly used digital filters in motion analysis and in
audio circuits, They are fast and simple to use. However, one main disadvantage of the
Butterworth filter is that it achieves this pass band flatness at the expense of a wide transition
band as the filter changes from the pass band to the stop band. It also has poor phase
characteristics as well.

Objective: To Design the Op-Amp as an Integrator and Differentiator
TOOLS USED: 1. Operating System-Red Hat-16.02
2. MENTOR GRAPHICS Tool
Theory
In an integrator circuit, the output voltage is integral of the input signal. At low frequencies the gain
becomes infinite, so the capacitor is fully charged and behaves like an open circuit, The gain of an
integrator at low frequency can be limited by connecting a resistor in shunt with capacitor.
In the differentiator circuit, the output voltage is the differentiation of the input voltage. The input
impedance of this circuit decreases with increase in frequency, thereby making the circuit sensitive to
high frequency noise. At high frequencies, circuit may become unstable
