This experiment deals with the layout design of a CMOS Inverter using Microwind. CMOS Inverter: 25m (cmos02.rul) EDA Tool: Microwind 3.1 Full Version Transistor Sizing: NMOS- 4/3(WIDTH/LENGTH) PMOS- 13/3(WIDTH/LENGTH) MOS Model: Very Simple Level-1 Supply Voltage: 5.0V I/O Voltage: 5V
Objectives
To manually design the mask layout of a CMOS Inverter To check the design for design rule errors To check the functionality of the inverter using simulation with the built-in simulator To extract netlist from the inverter layout for SPICE and perform simulation
Layout Simulation:
Voltage vs.Time (Transient Analysis): Output voltage vs. Time & Input Voltage vs. Time:
Voltage vs. Voltage (DC Analysis): Output voltage vs. Input Voltage:
Current vs. Voltage (DC Analysis): Inverter Current vs. Inverter Input Voltage:
DURING PULL-DOWN, THE INVERTER CURRENT IS NMOS DRAIN CURRENT.
Discussion:
A CMOS inverter is designed in microwind. The width of PMOS(Wp) is 13 and the width of the NMOS(Wn) is 3(which is less than 13/3). To make the the inverter symmetric we chose Wp>3Wn. After examining the graph we see that without the switching time there is no current in the inverter.
