    EXPERIMENT NO. 1: INTRODUCTION TO CMOS INVERTER USING PSPICE

    Introduction :
    SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis) is a very powerful and probably the most
    widely used software for electrical and electronic circuits simulation. In this experiment our aim is to
    introduce SPICE capabilities applied to CMOS VLSI circuits design. In SPICE we can do dc, ac, transient
    and other types of analysis. Some common statements that will be needed in this experiment are given
    below.
    Resistor: R<name> <pos. node> <neg. node> <value>
    Capacitor: C<name> <pos. node> <neg. node> <value>
    Inductor: L<name> <pos. node> <neg. node> <value>
    DC voltage source: V<name> <pos. node> <neg. node> <value>
    Pulse voltage source: V<name> <pos. node> <neg. node> PULSE (V1 V2 TD TR TF PW PER) where V1 =
    voltage level for logic 0, V2 = voltage level for logic 1, TD = time delay, TR = rise time, TF = fall time, PW =
    pulse width, PER= pulse period.
    Sinusoidal voltage source: V<name> <pos. node> <neg. node> SIN(dc_offset amplitude frequency).

    Rules for writing MOSFET statement :


    M<name> <drain> <gate> <source> <body> <model name>
    .MODEL <model name> NMOS (P1=V1 P2=V2 ----------------------------------- Pn=Vn)
    .MODEL <model name> PMOS (P1=V1 P2=V2 ----------------------------------- Pn=Vn)
    Where P’s are parameters and V’s are their values. Some parameters and their typical values are given in
    the example of CMOS inverter.

    PSPICE analysis types :


    DC analysis: .DC <source name> <start value> <end value> <increment>
    AC analysis: .AC <sweep type> <no of points> <start frequency> <end frequency>
    Transient analysis: .TRAN <tstep> <tstop> <tstart>
    Sweep types are LIN(for linear) DEC(for decade) OCT(for octave).
    The default value of tstart is zero(0).

    Output :
    To observe output in graphic mode we will use .PROBE statement. To observe output in printed form we
    will use .PRINT <analysis type> <variable to be printed>

    Procedure :
    1) Write the above code for CMOS inverter in PSPICE and test the functionality of the gate by transient
    analysis.
    2) Run the above program in dc analysis mode and observe output voltage. This is the transfer
    characteristic of the inverter. From the curve measure the inversion voltage.
    3) From the transient analysis determine the values of rise time and fall time of the output voltage.
    Observe the transistor currents along with input and output voltages. The smaller current spikes
    during logic transition cause switching power loss.
    4) Change the width (w) of NMOS to 10u and run the program. Observe the dc transfer characteristic
    and measure the inversion voltage and from the transient analysis determine the values of rise time
    and fall time of the output voltage. You do not need to observe transistor currents in this step.
    5) Change the width (w) of NMOS back to 4u and that of PMOS to 20u and run the program. Observe
    the dc transfer characteristic and measure the inversion voltage and from the transient analysis
    determine the values of rise time and fall time of the output voltage. Notice the change in three
    cases.

    Report :
    1) Include the results and figures obtained in procedure.
    2) Write the PSPICE program for 2-input CMOS NAND gate using the transistors used in above code.
    Check its functionality by transient analysis and provide figures, code and circuit diagram.
    3) Do the same as mentioned in 2 for a 2-input CMOS NOR gate.
