Kindly note that given component values are for initial starting
values. You need to tweak these values to get proper simulation
results.
Use given library files (for 500 nm MOSFET/ BJT/ DIODE) to
run simulations
Assignment should be done in a group of 3 students.
Each group needs to prepare a hand written report showing
spice netlist, calculations , simulation results/ graphs,
conclusions properly
Submission instructions will be provided later
You may take help to understand usage of LTSPICE simulator
Copying in any form is not permitted.
For tsmc 180 lib —use 2.0 V power supply.
For AMI C5 lib- use 5V power supply
