Demo 12

This demo examines gate ringing by using two cascaded inverters and lowering the resistance in the first inverter to speed up the RC delay. When the resistance is lowered, the middle voltage between the inverters begins to ring due to inductance in the ground loop. The document provides steps to observe the ringing behavior by switching a 300 ohm resistor into the circuit and noting the changes in the input, middle, and output voltages.

002 Demo# 12
Gate Ringing Agarwal Fall 2000
Lecture 15
Purpose: This demo examines second order responses using two cascaded inverters. By lowering RL in the first
inverter (in an attempt to speed up the RC delay), the middle voltage (between the two inverters) is shown to
ring. This is caused by inductance in the loop between ground and the middle voltage.

Steps:
1. Show the input, middle and output voltages for the circuit with RL set at the high value (2kOhm). Note the
RC behavior of the middle voltage, and the resulting delay at the output.
2. Switch the 300 Ohm resistor into the circuit. Observe the ringing behavior in the middle voltage.
