1. AC Simulation

Set up the input voltage source with sinusoidal (sin, cos, and etc). Set only AC amplitude to 1 and AC
phase to 0. Run AC simulation from 1KHz to 1GHz.

1.1. Simulate the test bench and plot the output voltage (𝑣𝑣𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜 ). Analyze the result and comment
on the waveform.

1.2. Find the frequency where the magnitude drops by 3dB. This frequency is defined as the cut-
off frequency.

1.3. Find the frequency where the phase is lagged by 45 degree.

1.4. Find the slope of the magnitude response when the frequency is above the cut-off frequency.
2. Transient simulation with sinusoidal input

Run a transient simulation with the 160kHz frequency and 100mV amplitude signal for 10 cycles.

2.1. Plot the output voltage (𝑣𝑣𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜 ) waveform and comment on the response.

2.2. Plot the input voltage (𝑣𝑣𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖 ) waveform. What is the phase relationship between 𝑣𝑣𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖 and 𝑣𝑣𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜 ?
Please comment on why in regards to the frequency response above.

2.3. What is the magnitude relationship between 𝑣𝑣𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖 and 𝑣𝑣𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜 ? Please comment on why in
regards to the frequency response above.

3. Transient simulation with step input

Run the transient simulation for at least 10 uS with the step input voltage (𝑣𝑣𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖 = 0𝑉𝑉 → 1𝑉𝑉).

3.1. Plot the output voltage (𝑣𝑣𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜 ) waveform and comment on the response.

3.2. Find the time-constant of the circuit

3.3. How do you relate the settling time to the time-constant found?

Task 2: Construct the RC high pass filter and repeat the same experiment as RC low pass filter.
