    BIRLA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY AND SCIENCE - PILANI, HYDERABAD

    CAMPUS
    First Semester 2015-2016
    Assignment 3
    Analog and Digital VLSI Design

    Assignment Due Date: 18th November 2015, 5 PM Max Marks: 20M


    Tools and files you need:
    • Java
    • Electric CAD tool “jar” file
    • LTSPICE “scad.exe” file
    • Technology ‘model’ file
    Before starting the assignment, refer to the appendix at the end of this document for better
    understanding on how to use AC voltage source and calculation of ‘gm’ value.

    Perform the following:


    1. Implement the circuit for NMOS common source amplifier with resistive load of 50KΩ in
    Electric CAD tool. The W and L of the transistor should be with respect to your ID number
    which is explained as follows:

    If ID number: 20XXXXXXX23H, then W = 2um and L =3um


    If your ID number contains ‘0’ in the last two digits then consider ‘0’ as ‘10’. For example,
    If ID number: 20XXXXXXX03H, then W = 10um and L = 3um. If ID number:
    20XXXXXXX30H, then W = 3um and L = 10um
    If the last two digits of your ID number are same, then W and L will be your last digit. For
    example, If ID number: 20XXXXXXX55H, then W = L = 5um
    If the last two digits of your ID number are zeroes, then consider W and L as 10um.

    2. Draw the voltage transfer characteristics curve for this circuit and choose appropriate
    operating points (i.e., bias point) to make the circuit work as an amplifier. The supply
    voltage for this circuit is 5V.
    3. Plot the trans-conductance (gm) of the NMOS transistor with the help of appendix of this
    document. From the trans-conductance curve obtained, calculate the trans-conductance
    value for the operating point that you have chosen. Calculate the small signal (Av1) gain
    using Gain expression of NMOS common source amplifier with resistive load
    4. With the chosen operating point, perform transient analysis (plot input and output sinusoidal
    waveforms) for 3ms to check the amplifier characteristics. Calculate the small signal gain
    (Av2) from the input and output waveforms. Refer to the appendix of this document on how
    to use small signal AC voltage source. The AC voltage signal parameters are
    AC Voltage = 100mV
    DC Voltage = Bias voltage calculated in the above question
    Delay = 1n or keep it with default value
    Frequency = 1 KHz
    5. The values of µ nCox and Vth for the model used are 139x10-6A/V2 and 0.7V respectively.
    Now for the operating point (vin/vgs) calculate theoretical gm and theoretical small signal
    gain (Av3).
    6. Comment on the values of small signal gains Av1, AV2, AV3.
    The document should be well written and should contain the following
     Circuits which performs transfer characteristics and transient analysis
     Transfer characteristics curve and Trans-conductance graph. Gm and Bias point for your
    case should be marked on the curve clearly like as shown below

     Transient analysis curves and

     Comments on the small signal gains av1, av2, av3

    Appendix

    Caluclating trans-conductance of MOS transistor


    1. After drawing circuit for Common source amplifier with resistive load (with DC input
    source only), run the simulation by going into tools->simulation(spice)->write spice deck.. It
    opens LTSPICE which looks as the figure shown below.

    2. The trans-conductance can be given as


    
     
    

    3. Right click on the waveform window and click on the “Add Trace” button which pop-ups
    the signal selection window.

    4. In order to calculate trans-conductance, the drain current need to be differentiated with VGS.
    This can be done by writing the equation ‘d(Id… )’ in pop-up window in the “Expression(s)
    to add:” space which is shown in the figure below. The ‘d’ indicates differentiation with
    respect to X-axis, which is Vgs in this case.
    5. After writing equation, click on “OK” to plot the trans-conductance curve which is shown in
    figure below. This curve gives the trans-conductance for different Vgs.

    6. Plot the output voltage on the same graph which will result in the graph shown below.
    Working with DC bias voltage and small signal AC Voltage Source
    1. In the schematic window, click on the black arrow of “spice” in components list as shown
    below and select “ACVoltage”

    2. Following image shows the different properties of AC voltage source.


    a. AC Voltage is the peak AC voltage of the signal
    b. DC voltage is the bias voltage for the AC signal
    c. Delay will delay the signal by the specified amount
    d. Frequency is the frquency of the AC signal. Note that ‘M’ is ‘milli’ and ‘Meg’ for
    Mega
