EXPERIMENT 4: SIMULATION OF MOSFET I-V CHARACTERISTICS

You are required to simulate the output characteristics of a MOSFET in common source

configuration . You will require LTSpice which is an open source SPICE simulator.

Download and install LTSpice on your computer from the link below.

https://www.analog.com/en/design-center/design-tools-and-calculators/ltspice-simulator.html#

Procedure

1. Draw the schematics as shown below.

pg. 4
You will find all the componens on the list. VDC is a DC source.

NMOS4 is a MOS transistor in which the transistor node can be varied with respect to the

desired width and length. Select NMOS4 from the components list.

Contrl+right click on NMOS4 gives the picture below where you can then choose the model to

use.

Set Value = CMOSN

L=3u W=30u (3 micron length and 30 micon width)

2. Use following two simulation commands: .dc …….( see the diagram ) to vary Vgs from

0 to 1 V with a step size of 0.001 V and Vds from 0 to 1 V with a step size of say 0.2 V.

pg. 5
.include….. will include the necessary MOSFET models

Make sure to put the model.txt file in the same folder as your schematic file.

Tasks

A. Take the sreen shot of your schematic with your computer task bar clearly visible and

paste it in your report.

B. Take the sreen shot of Id vs Vds with your computer task bar clearly visible and paste

it in your report.

C. Discuss the various modes of operation of MOSFETs

D. Compare the I-V curve of MOSFET with that of BJT.
