A CMOS AND GATE

Schematic for a CMOS AND gate

Here we show how to set up the simulation of the CMOS AND gate in the figure. The circuit has

• 9 Elements
  • 6 MOSFETs (3 n-type + 3 p-type)
  • 3 Voltage sources

Below we show three methods for constructing the circuit data structure

• using an Octave script
• parsing a SPICE netlist
• parsing an IFF netlist

Once the circuit data structure is loaded the simulation can be started by the following commands

Code: Run the AND gate simulation

x = [.5 .5 .33 .66 .5 1 0 0 1 ]'; t = linspace (0, .5, 100); pltvars = {"Va", "Vb", "Va_and_b"}; dmp = .2; tol = 1e-15; maxit = 100; out = tst_backward_euler (outstruct, x, t, tol, maxit, pltvars);

Build the AND gate circuit structure parsing an IFF netlist

Code: Load the AND circuit structure parsing an IFF netlist

outstruct = prs_iff ("and");
