General Overview

The ability to characterize physical MOSFETs is an important skill to have. The characterization of MOSFETs allows one to develop SPICE models. These SPICE models allow one to conduct simulations that mirror the operation of the physical MOSFETs characterized. This laboratory regards the characterization of the CD4007 CMOS transistor array. Upon characterization of the transistor array, a Level 1 LTspice model will then be created to properly simulate the behavior of the transistor array.  It is assumed that the characterized MOSFETs will be used in circuit designs powered by a single +5 V power supply. Therefore, the characterized MOSFETs will not be characterized for voltages greater than +5V.


Prelab

The datasheet of the CD4007 CMOS transistor array was reviewed. It is understood that the bodies of the NMOSs are tied to pin 7 (VSS) and the bodies of the PMOSs are tied to pin 14 (VDD). Generally, VSS is the lowest potential in the circuit and VDD is the highest potential in the circuit. Figure 1, depicts the internal schematic of the transistor array. The array has three complimentary pairs of MOSFETs. One pair is connected such that it can be easily used as a MOSFET inverter. The other two pairs have their gates connected.

Figure 1

The information contained within my laboratory report 7 concerning an MOSFET Push-Pull Audio Amplifier was also reviewed.


Description of Laboratory Procedures

The experiments results were produced by implementing the circuits described in the LTspice Model: MOSFET Characterization section. DC sweeps were performed while currents were measured to produce IV curves. These IV curves can then be used to characterize the MOSFETs on the CD4007 CMOS transistor array. These IV curves were either obtained manually or by the Keithley 2450 SourceMeter.

CD4007 Transistor Array LTspice Model

The values determined by hand calculations were then manipulated until the behavior of the level one models represented the behavior of the CD4007 Transistor Array. We created a text file to contain our level one models as seen below.

* Level=1 models of CD4007 Transistor Array

.MODEL N_Lab8 NMOS LEVEL = 1

+ TOX = 17.25e-9    VT0 = 1.6     KP = 6u

+ LAMBDA = 0.010    GAMMA = .01

 

 

.MODEL P_Lab8 PMOS LEVEL = 1

+ TOX = 17.25e-9    VT0 = -1.5   KP = 5u

+ LAMBDA = 0.030    GAMMA = .5

We were able to successfully generate an LTspice model that successfully replicated the behavior of the CD4007 Transistor Array. One may look at the next two sections to observe that we were able to replicate the recorded behavior of the device. However, there were some cases that proved to be difficult to replicate. We realized that it is difficult to create a model that perfectly replicates the observed device behavior. Therefore, comprises were made to best replicate the observed behavior of the device

Testing the LTspice Model: The CMOS Inverter

Now that we have developed a LTspice model of the CD4007 transistor array we can implement a simple CMOS circuit design. This simple CMOS circuit design can then be implemented on the breadboard and on LTspice. The correlation between the simulation behavior and the physical circuit behavior will testify to the usefulness of our developed LTspice MOSFET models. To determine the correlation of the two systems a metric must be used. The difference of such a metric will give way to the correlation of the two systems. In this case, our metric of correlation will be the delay of the input and output signals. Additionally, the simple CMOS circuit design that we will use is one of the AC test circuits given in the CD4007 transistor array (see Figure 20). While probing, extraneous load capacitances should always be considered. The oscilloscope probe adds a 15 pF load. There are also other stray load capacitances that equate to 10 pF. Together, there is a net load capacitance of 25 pF. In the CD4007 datasheet, we are given a visual definition of delay time (Figure 21). The delay time is denoted by . The delay time is the time difference between the points of 50% voltage of the input (rising/falling edge) and output signal (falling/rising edge). Figure 22 depicts the LTspice model and the circuit implemented on the breadboard.

Figures 23 and 24 depict the input and output waveforms of the simulation (left) and the circuit on the breadboard (right). Figure 24 and 25 show the measured delay. Here we can see that both the simulation and the circuit on the breadboard have a delay ~28 ns (see Table 10). This is a reasonable delay value, as the CD4007 datasheet identifies a typical delay value as 35 ns (see Figure 26). There is a strong correlation between our LTspice model and our physical circuit due to the small difference in delay values. Therefore, the MOSFETs on the CD4007 chip are effectively modeled by our constructed LTspice mode.
