Lab Description

 

 

Pre-lab

 

Lab Instructions

In this lab you will characterize the transistors in the CD4007 (not the CD4007UB chip) and generate SPICE Level=1 models. Assume that the MOSFETs will be used in the design of circuits powered by a single +5 V power supply. In other words, don't characterize the devices at higher than +5 V voltages or lower than ground potential.

1.    ID v. VGS (0 < VGS < 3 V) with VDS = 3 V 

2.   ID v. VDS (0 < VDS < 5 V) for VGS varying from 1 to 5 V in 1 V steps, and 

3.   ID v. VGS (0 < VGS < 5 V) with VDS = 5 V for VSB varying from 0 to 3 V in 1 V steps. 

Experiment 1: NMOS

For these experiments we used the UB chip in the instructions it says not to use this chip but was later clarified by the professor that it was okay to use them here is the layout.

At first we used the leftmost NMOS consisting of pins 6,7,8 which were for gate, source and, drain respectfully. But we later realized that for part 3 we needed to have a voltage difference between VS and VB so we used the middle NMOS. This NMOS consists of pins 3,4,5 which were for gate, source and, drain respectfully. This way we did not have the body of the NMOS and the Source shorted so that we could have a different potential to see the effects.

LTSpice Results will be presented alongside the experimental results here is the LTSpice MODEL

Part 1:

1.) ID v. VGS (0 < VGS < 3 V) with VDS = 3 V 

For this part we were going to graph ID vs. VGS with VDS equaling to 3V and VGS being swept.

 

 

Part 2:

2.)

ID v. VDS (0 < VDS < 5 V) for VGS varying from 1 to 5 V in 1 V steps, and 

For this part we were to graph ID vs. VDS varying VDS from 0 to 5 and VGS varying from 1-5V (5 graphs).

VGS = 1V                                                              VGS = 2V                                                       VGS = 3V

  

VGS = 4V                                                             VGS = 5V

 

 

Here are all of the results compiled together on a single graph.

 

 

Part 3:

3.)

ID v. VGS (0 < VGS < 5 V) with VDS = 5 V for VSB varying from 0 to 3 V in 1 V steps. 

For this part we graphed ID vs. VGS with VDS at 5V and VSB varying from 0-3V in 1V steps (4 graphs). Here VSB = 3V and VSB = 2V are the same graph.

VSB = 0                                                                         VSB = 1V                                                              VSB =2V

  

Here are all of the results compiled together on a single graph.

 

 

 

Experiment 2: PMOS

For this experiment we used the top middle MOSFET so we wouldn't run into the same problem as the previous experiment.

This PMOS consists of pins 3,2,1 which were for gate, source and, drain respectfully. This way we did not have the body of the PMOS and the Source shorted so that we could have a different potential to see the effects.

Part 1:

1.) ID v. VSG (0 < VSG < 3 V) with VSD = 3 V 

For this part we were going to graph ID vs. VSG with VSD equaling to 3V and VSG being swept.

 

Part 2:

2.)

NOTE** As we keep going to higher VSD voltages, our Battery source got to a point where it could no longer have a higher VSG voltage. This could be due to the battery source sensing that there is a “short” in the PMOS. Because of this we will have INACCURATE measurements. For those higher VSD voltages at the higher constant VSG, we used the same value as the highest max value of our VSG, so the lines will look linear.

ID v. VDS (0 < VDS < 5 V) for VGS varying from 1 to 5 V in 1 V steps, and 

For this part we were to graph ID vs. VDS varying VDS from 0 to 5 and VGS varying from 1-5V (5 graphs).

VG = 4V                                                                VG = 3V                                                          VG = 2V

  

VG = 1V                                                                    VG = 0V note* graph is labeled  as VG = 1V it's actually 0V

  

Here are all of the results compiled together on a single graph.

 

Part 3:

3.)

ID v. VSG (0 < VGS < 5 V) with VSD = 5 V for VBS varying from 0 to 3 V in 1 V steps. 

For this part we graphed ID vs. VSG with VSD at 5V and VBS varying from 0-3V in 1V steps (4 graphs). Here VBS = 3V and VBS = 2V are the same graph.

VBS = 0                                                                         VBS = 1V                                                             

   

VBS =2V                                                                   VBS = 3V

 

Here are all of the results compiled together on a single graph.

 

Experiment 3: Hand Calculations

 

Experiment 4: The Inverter

In this experiment, we will just be looking at how fast the Output reacts with the input of the inverter and compare it with our LTSpice models. We will have a small capacitance at the Probe tip, ideally 15pF, but there will be some stray capacitance and we used 30pF to be safe.

Experimental Results

 

 

For the experimental we got 18ns delay and for the LTSpice we got 13ns.
