Nor gate

Information

Nor CMOS

The modeling and transient analysis of the CMOS nor gate shown in Figure 1 is discussed.
The transient analysis plot obtained using SPICELib and ORCAD PSpice are shown.

Figure 1. CMOS Nor Gate.

Circuit modeling

Start Dymola with Modelica modeling language.
In order to open SPICELib library, select in the Dymola window File/Open and open the file SPICELib/package.mo
Create a new package (select in the Dymola window File/New/Package): norcmos.
It is going to include the circuit and the analysis models.
Create the circuit model (select in the Dymola window File/New/Model) as follows:
Dymola model window now contains an empty schematic model.
The model circuit is built up using components from the SPICELib.parts package. The model components for n-channel MOS, p-channel MOS and ground can be found in SPICELib.parts.breakout. The model component for a independent voltage source can be found in SPICELib.parts.source. Drag and drop the part models.
- SPICELib.parts.breakout.Ground
- SPICELib.parts.breakout.Spice2MOS1
- SPICELib.parts.breakout.Spice2MOS1P
- SPICELib.parts.source.VPULSE
- SPICELib.parts.source.VCONST
Connect the circuit parts as shown in Figure 1.
Enter the parameter values of the circuit components. See Figures 2-6. MNA and MNB have the same parameters. MPA and MPB also have the same parameters.
The Boolean parameter HIDDEN_COMPONENT controls the log of the device variables (see SPICELib.analyses package documentation).

Figure 3. V1 parameters.

Figure 4. V2 parameters.

Figure 5. NMOS parameters.

Figure 6. PMOS parameters.
Save the Schematic model.

Transient (time) analysis (TRAN)

Create a new model, TRAN, and insert it in norcmos package (see Figure 7).
Figure 7. Inserting TRAN in norcmos package.
Drag an SPICELib.analyses.TRAN model into the TRAN model (see Figure 8).
Figure 8. Inserting TRAN in norcmos package.
Enter the TRAN analysis parameters (see Figure 9). The meaning of the analysis parameters is discussed in the SPICELib.analyses.TRAN model documentation. The SKIPBP parameter determines whether skip or not the bias point calculation.

Figure 9. TRAN analysis parameters.

TRANSIENT ANALYSIS

Figure 10 shows the input stimuli. Figure 11 shows the results obtaines with SPICELib and ORCAD PSPICE and in Figure 12 the difference between the results obtained with SPICELib and ORCAD PSpice is presented.
