E XPERIMENT N AME : CMOS I NVERTER SIMULATION IN A DVANCED D ESIGN


S YSTEM
T HEORY
A CMOS inverter is composed of a complementary pair of MOSFETs: an NMOS
(pull-down network) and a INVERTER (pull-up network). When the input is high (logic
1), the NMOS conducts, and the INVERTER turns off, pulling the output to a low state
(logic 0). Conversely, when the input is low (logic 0), the INVERTER conducts while
the NMOS turns off, pulling the output to a high state (logic 1).
This inverter exhibits low power dissipation, high noise margins, and sharp transitions
between logic states, attributed to the robust switching characteristics of CMOS technol-
ogy.
In the Advanced Design System (ADS), the CMOS inverter is simulated to analyze
DC characteristics (Voltage Transfer Characteristics, VTC), transient response, and power
dissipation. The VTC curve is instrumental in determining key parameters such as noise
margins, switching threshold, and gain.
This simulation aids in understanding inverter behavior under various conditions, thereby
facilitating the design of efficient digital logic circuits.

P ROCEDURE
1) At first, open the MM11 PMOS and MM11 NMOS in ADS, and simulate the model
setting the following parameters as shown in the Fig. 1.
2) Then, by simulating the design, we will get the output. Which is shown in Fig. 2.
3) Now extract the data and open the files in Origin Pro.

D ISCUSSION
The CMOS inverter simulation in ADS successfully demonstrated its switching be-
havior and performance characteristics. The Voltage Transfer Characteristic (VTC) curve
clearly illustrated the transition between logic states, highlighting the inverter’s high noise
margins and sharp switching. The transient analysis confirmed quick response times
with minimal delay, validating the efficiency of CMOS technology in digital circuits.
Power dissipation was primarily observed during switching, in accordance with theoretical
expectations. The experiment further reinforced the advantages of CMOS inverters, such
as low static power consumption and reliable operation. Overall, the results aligned with
theoretical predictions, validating the use of ADS for accurate circuit simulation and
analysis.
