Homework 2: By: Nathan Conrad ECE 5540 Digital Electronics 9-23-13

This document summarizes the results of simulations performed on an inverter circuit for an electronics homework assignment. Key results include: - DC sweep analysis found input low voltage VIL=1.05802V, middle voltage VM=1.2383V, and input high voltage VIH=1.43053V. - Transient simulations showed the output voltage changing in the proper manner as the input voltage switched between low and high. - TPLH and TPHL propagation delay times were calculated from transient analysis as 34.675ps and 38.318ps respectively.

Hand Analysis

Schematic Diagram



Conrad, pg.4
DC Sweep


From the DC Sweep, I obtained the values of VIL, Vm, and VIH:
o VIL = 1.05802V
o VM = 1.2383V
o VIH = 1.43053V
Conrad, pg.5
Transient Simulations


From the Transient Simulation, I can see that as the input Vin goes low, the output Vout
goes high. Also, as Vin goes high, Vout goes low. This shows the proper function of an
inverter.

PLH

From the Transient Analysis, I obtained the value tPLH = 34.675ps.

PHL

From the Transient Analysis, I obtained the value tPHL = 38.318ps.

Final Specifications

From the DC Sweep, I obtained the values of VIL, Vm, and VIH (See page 4).
o VIL = 1.05802V
o VM = 1.2383V
o VIH = 1.43053V

In the Hand Analysis, I also obtained the values of VIL, Vm, and VIH (See page 2).
o VIL = 1.19883V
o VM = 1.240796V
o VIH = 1.282148V

When comparing the values obtained in the Hand Analysis to the values obtained using
the DC Sweep, I can see that there are some slight differences. Of the three values, VM is
the value that is the closest to the value obtained in the simulation. VIL and VIH are off by
larger margins. This is likely because of the formula that was used to calculate the gain
(g). It is stated in the book that the formula is an approximation. Therefore, there is to be
some error expected when using the formula.

From Transient Analysis (See page 6), the following values were obtained:
