Q1 (a). Run DC analysis for a PMOS device and plot the following large signal characteristics: [1 point]
a)
Part a)
a) ID v/s VSD, VDD = 1.8V for four VSG values: 0.4V, 0.8V, 1V & 1.2V
Code
.include "models-180nm.cir"
vsd 2 0 dc 1.8v
vsg 2 1 dc 1.2v
.controlrun
plot -i(vsd)
.endc
.end
Results
Observations
We know for same value of VSD, Current increases with increase in the voltage
VSG and hence the curve will shift upwards in ID vs VSD graph, which we can
clearly observe from the above plot.
Part b)
b) ID v/s VSG, VDD = 1.8V for four VSD values: 0.4V, 0.8V, 1V & 1.2V
Code
.include "models-180nm.cir"
vsd 2 0 dc 1.8v
vsg 2 1 dc 0
.control
run
plot -i(vsd)
.endc.end
Results
Observations:
We have plotted ID vs VSG for different voltage values of VSD. We know for same
voltage VSG current increase with increase in voltage VSD, so the curve should
move upwards with increase in VSD. This can be verified from the results
obtained.
Q1 (b). Using the simulation results obtained above, extract the following parameters for VSG = 1 V and
VSD = 1.2 V. [2 points]
a) gm
b) rout
d) ID
e) VTH
f) µpCox
Code for ID and gm calculation:
.include "models-180nm.cir"
vsd 2 0 dc 1.2v
vsg 2 1 dc 1.2v
.control
run
plot -i(vsd)
plot -deriv(i(vsd))

Q2. Run DC analysis for a PMOS device and plot ID v/s VSD, with VSG = 0.8 V and VDD = 1.8 V. Repeat for
the three given values of W and L (W/L ratio constant). State your observations. [2 points]
a) W/L = 0.5u/0.18u
b) W/L = 2u/0.72u
c) W/L = 8u/2.88u
Simulation results of all W/L should be on the same window for comparison
Code
.include "models-180nm.cir"
vsd 2 0 dc 1.8v
vsg 2 1 dc 0.8v
.control
run
alter @MP1[L]=0.72U
alter @MP1[W]=2U
run
alter @MP1[L]=2.88U
alter @MP1[W]=8U
run
.endc
.end
Results
Observations:
• Here Blue, Red & Green curves represents p channel MOSFETS with channel
lengths 2.88um, 0.72um and 0.18 um respectively. We know the relation
between channel length modulation parameter (Lambda) and channel
length of the MOSFETS.
• Also channel length modulation parameter represents slope of the ID vs
VSD characteristics of the MOSFETS in the saturation region of operation.
Larger the value of Lambda larger will be the slope.
• So Green curve (L=0.18um) will have highest slope, followed by Red curve
(L=0.72um) and Blue curve (L=2.88um) respectively, which we can clearly
observe from the curves plotted
