Eldo SPICE

SPICE is a free and open-source electronic circuit simulator used to simulate, analyze, and test analog circuits. It was developed at the University of California, Berkeley. ELDO SPICE is a version of SPICE that can be used to simulate circuits without building physical hardware. The document provides information on the syntax and commands used in ELDO SPICE simulations, including defining MOSFETs, voltage and current sources, and performing DC, AC, and transient analyses. Sample code for a NMOS transistor circuit simulation is also included.

ELDO SPICE

SPICE
Simulated Program for Integrated Circuit
Emphasis
Developed in Berkeley
Versions: PSPICE, HSPICE, B2SIM, LTSPICE,etc.
Its a program to simulate circuit without
building hardware. Its a computer aided
design tool
Various analysis: Operating point, Time
domain analysis, Small signal analysis,etc.

Simulator Equations
Parameters Model file
.cir file
ELDO
.chi .wdb .id
Statements in circuit file
Title line:- .TITLE nmos.cir
Comment line:- begins with *
Element line:- M MOS , V Voltage source,
I Current source, R Resistor,
C - Capacitor
Control line:- .dc analysis, .ac analysis, .tran
analysis, .probe probes all nodes voltages & currents
.END line:- ends the circuit file

->NOTE: First line is always taken as a comment line.
Paths for ELDO SPICE
Library path for eldo SPICE:
.LIB "/linuxeda/dk/tsmc018/models/fp1/eldo/log018.eldo" TT
Corners specified as TT,FF,SS,etc.
Sourcing eldo SPICE:
source /linuxeda/scripts/mentor/icflow.csh
Simulating circuit file:
eldo <filename.cir> after sourcing from the same
path
Waveform viewer:
ezwave& : opens ezwave waveform viewer


Important syntax
Defining MOS:
M<mosname> <drain> <gate> <source>
<substrate> <modelname> L=<length>
W=<Width>
Eg:
M1 N2 N1 GND GND NCH L=180n W=1080n
Model names (NCH3,PCH3,etc.) can be found from library file
NCH3 for NMOS , PCH3 for PMOS (for TSMC 180nm)



Important syntax(Contd.)
Defining Voltage source:
V<voltage name> <node1> <node2> DC=<value>
AC=<value> SIN(<dc value> <ac value> <freq>)
Eg:- VIN VI1 VI2 DC=0V AC=0.3mV sin (0V 0.3mV 0.1k)
Same for current source. It must start with I
instead of V

Important syntax(Contd.)
DC analysis:
.DC <voltage source> <start value> <stop value> <step increment>
Eg:- .dc vindc 0 3.3V 0.1V
AC analysis:
.AC [LIN][OCT][DEC] <points> <start> <end>
Eg:- .AC DEC 10 1MEG 100MEG
TRANSIENT analysis:
.TRAN <step value> <final time>
Eg:- .TRAN 5NS 100NS
Operating point:
.op
Operating points can be found in .chi file
