Lab Performance Report#5
Task#1 Creating Schematic: Create a schematic of an NMOS biased in Voltage Divider (source
bypassed) configuration. Choose transistor length and resistances values of your own whereas for
NMOS, W = 10xL . You may consult any text or a reference book. Try to choose a unique circuit.
Task#2 Generating Symbol: Create the symbol of the amplifier that you made in Task#1. The symbol
should have four I/O pins i.e. Vin , Vout, VDD, and VSS.
Task#3 DC Operating Point Analysis: Create a new schematic using the same symbol created in
Task#2 and connecting it to VDD = 3.3 V and VSS = Gnd. Perform DC operating point analysis. Take a
screenshot of the output popup window. Write your remarks about the output values. See if the
NMOS is biased in saturation mode or not. If it is not in saturation, then change the resistance
values of task#1. Re-simulate and repeat the process till NMOS comes in saturation mode. Take
screenshot of your adjusted circuit of task#1 along with the results of DC operating point analysis
for making the report.
Task#4 DC Sweep Analysis: Create a new schematic using the same symbol created in Task#2 and
connecting it to VDD = 3.3 V and VSS = Gnd. Perform DC Sweep Analysis analysis by varying input
voltage from 0 to 3.3 volt in steps of 0.1V. Plot the output vs input voltage results. Take screenshot
of the schematic output. Write your remarks about the output. Why the output varies with input
voltage?
Task#5 AC Transient Analysis: “Save as” the final circuit of task#3 (.asc file) and create a new
schematic from it. Insert coupling capacitors at input and output pins. Choose suitable values for
coupling capacitors. Insert RL at output node choosing suitable value. Select any sine wave signal
whose amplitude is between 5mV to 50mV and frequency value between 1k to 15k Hz. Perform the
transient analysis of this circuit. Report the screenshots of the schematic, output voltage, current
and power waveforms and gain of the amplifier calculated via spice .meas commands.
Task#6 AC Sweep Analysis (Frequency Analysis): “Save as” the final circuit of task#5 (.asc file) and
create a new schematic from it. Perform AC Sweep Analysis by varying input voltage frequency
from 1Hz to 1Meg Hz keeping amplitude fixed at 70 mV. Plot the output/input ratio results. Take
screenshots of the schematic and output. Observe and report the cut-off frequency and type of
frequency response (i.e., Low Pass, High Pass, or Band Pass etc).
