SIMULATING WITH SPECTRE 4. Setting up the simulation: 4.1 Provide stimulus: From analogLib, get your signal source. You can find anything you need for this project (and much more), in there: vdc, idc, vpwl, vsin, vpulse, etc. For this example, let's get vdc, and connect it to the gate of the transistor. Edit the properties of vdc so that it supplies a DC voltage of 770 mV, and an AC magnitude of 1 V. 4.2 Place a battery in the circuit: Get another vdc from analogLib, and connect it to vdd! and gnd!. You can place more vdd! and gnd! symbols since they are global (that's what the exclamation mark '!' means). Edit the properties of vdc so that it supplies a DC voltage of 3.3 V. Your schematic should now look something like this: Figure 5.1: Schematic ready for simulation. 5. Simulate: In Schematic Window: Design->Check and Save There should be no errors. Warnings such as "Solder dot on cross over" are okay. Tools->Analog Environment In Cadence Analog Design Environment: The following two steps only need to be done for this first session. Setup->Simulator/Directory/Host Set the simulator to Spectre. Setup->Model Libraries Use the model files in the directory (for VLSI lab): /home/class/ee5333t1/models/spc/models.scs Section “c0”. Click Add and OK. Set Analysis: Analyses->Choose Select dc analysis Click "dc operating point" Select ac analysis Choose sweep range, from 1 kHz to 1 GHz. Choose sweep type "logarithmic, 10 points per decade. Click OK. Choose nodes to be saved: Outputs->Save all, click 'OK'. Start simulation: Simulation->Run The simulator status can be seen in the log (CIW) window. Ignore the warnings about the model files, and wait until it finishes. 6. View Results To see the operating point, do the following in the Analog Artist Simulation Window: Results->Annotate->DC Node Voltages. The node voltages will be annotated in the schematic window. You can also annotate the transistors operating points by choosing: Results->Annotate->DC Operating Points. Figure 2: DC operating point results. To see the results of the ac analysis, do the following: In the Analog Artist Simulation Window: Tools->Calculator Then, in the Calculator: Click the "vf" button, click on output net in schematic. Click "plot". The Waveform Window opens. You can find, for example, the unity gain frequency easily by choosing: Markers->Horizontal Marker Type 1 Volt in "Marker locations", and click "Apply". If you want to see the exact value, click "Display Intercept Data". You can also see the output voltage in dB. Just click the 'dB20' button in the calculator, and then 'Plot'. To delete other plots, click directly on the curve and press Delete. Figure 3: AC analysis results
