Problem 1

Figure 1
In the circuit above Vdd = 30V and Rg = 10k
W. The quiescent operating point is specified to be Vdsq = 20V and the small signal gain vo / vg is specified to be -3. The MOSFET is an N channel device with Vtr = 2V, Kp = 60mA / V2. You can set the incremental part of the input to zero for the quiescent analysis.You are to redesign the circuit to be a logic circuit. Now Vdd = 5V, Vgsq=0 and Vgs = Vin is a 100kHz pulse waveform from 0.3V to 5V. Choose Rd so that with Vin = 5V the output voltage Vds is less than 1V. To see all of the switching details you will need a small tstep, 10ns is small enough. You will also need to save all your points so tmax = tstep.
Problem 2


Figure 2 Figure 3
In the circuit above Vdd = -30V and Rg = 10kW. The quiescent operating point is specified to be Vdsq = -20V and the small signal gain vo / vg is specified to be -3. The MOSFET is a P channel device with Vtr = -2V, Kp = 40mA / V2. You can set the incremental part of the input to zero for the quiescent analysis.
You are to redesign the circuit in Fig. 3 to be a logic circuit. Now Vdd = 5V, Vinq=0 and Vin is a 100kHz pulse waveform from 0V to 4.7V. Choose Rd so that with Vin = 0V the output voltage Vo is greater than 4V. To see all of the switching details you will need a small tstep, 10ns is small enough. You will also need to save all your points so tmax = tstep.
Problem 3

Figure 4
Vdd = 5V and Vin is a 100kHz pulse waveform from 0.3V to 4.7V. The N channel MOSFET has parameters Vtr = 2V and Kp = 60mA / V2. The P channel MOSFET has parameters Vt = -2V and Kp = 40mA / V2. To see all of the switching details you will need a small tstep, 10ns is small enough. You will also need to save all your points so tmax = tstep. If you have Spice convergence problems, go to set simulation options in the simulation menu. Set noopiter=true, gmin=1e-8, reltol=.01, abstol=0.01u, and vntol=1e-2.
