                                        Lab Objectives

This objective of this lab is to introduce the user into the use and features of one of the most

popular analog and digital simulation software packages, PSpice (specifically OrCAD Capture

CIS Demo Version 15.7). As an added bonus the user should complete this lab assignment with

a greater understanding of the common characteristics of a commercially available n-channel

MOSFET. This lab is designed around the IRF-150 Power MOSFET. The lab will evaluate the

inverter characteristics of the IRF-150 by generating device characteristic curves, voltage

transfer function, frequency response diagram (bode plot), and time domain analysis of specific

frequencies needed to compute the IRF-150’s characteristic rise/fall times, and propagation

delays.



               Requirements and Design Approaches / Trade-offs

There are no specific design requirements for this project since it is not a design project, but a

PSpice learning lab. The primary objective of this lab is to learn the procedures and methods in

using the PSpice simulation software to identify and analyze key characteristics of the IRF-150

inverter circuit. This circuit and data collected through this lab will be compared against in later

labs.

            Characteristic Curves for the IRF-150 Power MOSFET

In order to begin analyzing the IRF-150 inverter, you must have OrCAD 15.7 Demo installed
(or a later, working variant). Next open OrCAD Capture CIS and create a new project using
Analog / Mixed (A/D). After the project space is ready a design schematic should be built
as shown in figure 1 below. Building a schematic is as simple as laying down parts and
connecting the components with wire. The main PSpice parts/components we will use in
this lab are (IRF-150, VDC, VAC, VPULSE, 0Ground, C/ANALOG, R/ANALOG, and Net Alias).
Once you have everything pieced together, you are ready to run a PSpice simulation. First,
create a new simulation profile for testing the transistors Id-Vd relationships. Next, set the
simulation settings to use a DC Sweep, with a Primary Sweep of “Vdrain” from 0 V to 10 V
in small 1 mV increments (figure 2), and a Secondary Sweep of “Vgate” from 0 V to 10 V
(Note, 2 V to 10 V also works) in 1 V increments (figure 3). I also simulated sweeping
Primary and Drain from 0 V to 5 V for future inverter comparisons. The results of these
simulations are seen in figures 4 and 5.

                      Voltage Transfer Function for the IRF-150 Power MOSFET

To generate the voltage transfer function (Vout vs. Vin) of the IRF-150 Power MOSFET, the
circuit design was updated to include a 1 kΩ resister after the VDC source “Vdrain”, and a 1
pF capacitor after the 1 kΩ resister going to ground. Two net aliases “Vout” and “Vin” were
then added until the circuit finally matched the circuit shown by figure 6.

Next the circuit simulation settings were again adjusted. After the Secondary Sweep was
removed, the Primary Sweep was updated to sweep “Vgate” from 0 V to 5 V in small 1mV
increments (figure 7). The new simulation was run with the results shown by the bottom
half of figure 8. You may need to add a trace of “V(Vout)” if you didn’t attach a voltage
probe to Vout.

Next, a line with a slope of 1 was drawn originating from (0 V, 0 V) to (4 V, 4 V). The
intersection of this line with the voltage transfer function graph of V(Vout) was noted as
the IRF-150 Power MOSFET’s logic threshold or switching point. This threshold voltage is
the point where Vin = Vout, and was determined to be approximately 2.868 V.

Next a new plot was added to graph the slope (derivative) of “Vout” (Top half of figure 8).
Creating a new plot is as simple as clicking plot/new plot and giving the new plot a trace
(In this case d(V(Vout))). The points where the new slope = -1 are used to define the noise
margins of this inverter. An easy way to find these locations is by using the search
command and typing “search forward level(-1)”. Using this technique twice to find both

                                                                                                                                                                     6

  locations where the slope = -1 the following could be defined. Once found you can identify
  the specific x-value with the “search forward xvalue(###)” command, where ### is the x-
  value you are searching for. After adding these coordinates the following data was
  obtained.

                               VIH = minimum HIGH input voltage = 2.8965 V
                               VIL = maximum LOW input voltage = 2.8311 V
                              VOH = minimum HIGH output voltage = 4.9886 V
                             VOL = maximum LOW output voltage = 32.908 mV

  Using these values the noise margins of the IRF-150 Power MOSFET were calculated as:

                                 Noise Margin Low = NM L = VIL – VOL = 2.798 V
                                 Noise Margin High = NMH = VOH – VIH = 2.092 V

                                            For an Ideal Inverter:
                                            NML = VDD/2 – 0 = 2.5 V
                                           NMH = VDD – VDD/2 = 2.5 V

       So IRF-150 NML is approx. +12% of Ideal, and IRF-150 NMH is approx. -16% of Ideal.

After analyzing figure 8 the truth table above (table 1) can be developed. It is obvious
from this truth table that this circuit is acting as an inverter. A Vin < 2.8311 V (Low) results
in a Vout of 5 V (High), while a Vin > 2.8965 V (High) results in a Vout of 0 V (Low).

Modifications to the circuit used in generating the voltage transfer function (figure 6) are
not required (other than switching the V-probe at “Vout” for a W-probe at “Vdrain”) for
finding the power consumed, nor are modifications to the simulation settings. By running a
simulation using a W-probe at “Vdrain” the following results were obtained as shown by

Figure 9: PSpice simulation results showing power consumed by IRF-150 Power MOSFET.


As observed from figure 9, minimum power (56 µW) is consumed when the transistor is
inverting an input (Vin) logic Low (0) into an output (Vout) logic High (1), however
maximum power (25 mW) is consumed when the transistor is inverting an input (Vin) logic
High (1) into an output (Vout) logic Low (0). The power consumed at Vin = 0 V is 56µW,
while the power consumed at Vin = 5 V is 25 mW.


A complex logic circuit composed of 2000 such inverters, where half have a logic 0, and the
other half have a logic 1 could consume approx 25W of power (1000 * 56 µW + 1000 * 25
mW = 25.056 W). With today’s IC’s packing millions of transistors this much power
therefore heat is way too expensive.

           Small Signal Characteristics of the IRF-150 Power MOSFET

In order to find the small signal characteristics of the IRF-150 Power MOSFET, the VDC
power source “Vgate” voltage was changed (see figure 10) to the threshold voltage
determined by figure 8. Next circuit simulation settings were adjusted for Bias Point
analysis, and the check box for calculating small-signal DC gain was checked. “Vgate” was
used as the simulation input source and “V(Vout)” was provided as an Output variable
name as illustrated in figure 11.

So the gain is approximately 113.7, input resistance is approximately 100 EΩ (exa-ohms)
(or higher, due to PSpice limits), and output resistance is approximately 997.8 Ω. At this
point it seems that this circuit has a good gain, extremely high input impedance and low
output impedance.

                          Frequency Response of the IRF-150 Power MOSFET

To find the frequency response of the circuit using the IRF-150 a VAC source (with 1 VAC,
and the threshold voltage VDC) was swapped for the VDC source “Vgate” as shown in
figure 12. Simulation settings were then adjusted to provide a good bode plot diagram
showing frequencies from 10Hz to 1GHz (plotted logarithmically) at 10 points per decade
as shown by figure 13. The results shown by figure 14 indicated the circuit was behaving
like a low pass filter with a corner (f * 3 dB) frequency of 56 kHz. You may need to add a
trace of “DB(V(Vout))” This indicates that frequencies less than the corner frequency will
respond better (larger gains realized) than frequencies greater than the corner frequency
(less gain realized, until eventually the IRF-150 is unable to keep up with the large
frequencies and is non-functional.

The circuit was again modified by replacing the VAC source “Vgate” with a Vpulse source as
shown by figure 15. This figure was used in conjunction with the variable values used in
table 2 for analyzing the circuits propagation delay (current) and digital frequency
response (upcoming) sections of this report. For each simulation a Time Domain Analysis
was performed to allow the user to see 3 to 5 periods (run to time = 3 to 5 * PER), and step
size around 1/1000 of each period as shown by figure 16. Simulation results are shown on

From the results above we can calculate the following.. Note small error in tPHL and tP may
 be the result of the two points that reach 5 V. I used the right most point. The large off-
 shots above 5 V and below 0 V are due to the parasitic capacitance and resistance of the
                                       IRF-150 model.

                     tHL = the time it takes output voltage to drop from 4.5 V to .5 V
                      tLH = the time it takes output voltage to rise from .5 V to 4.5 V
                       tPLH = the time it takes output voltage to rise from 0 to 2.5 V
                      tPHL = the time it takes output voltage to fall from 5 V to 2.5 V

                                               tHL = 35.789 µs – 35.768 µs = 21 µs

                    Digital Frequency Response of the IRF-150 Power MOSFET

Now the IRF-150 Power MOSFET inverters digital response is analyzed using the circuit
from the previous section (figure 15) and substituting for the frequencies provided by
table 2. The digital response is checked first at the corner frequency of 56 kHz (as done
previously), then at 5.6 kHz, and finally at 560 kHz. The results follow (Note, you will need
to read the captions next to each figure for an understanding of the results)…

inverter since the output reaches over 90% of the operating range within a pulse width, however this
response should improve with a lower input frequency.

Figure 20: PSpice simulation results showing digital response of output at frequency of 560 kHz (10 * corner).
 Notice the digital response is horrible now. The IRF-150 Power MOSFET simply cannot switch fast enough
                        to follow the input signal. This is now a non-functional inverter.

As observed from figures 18 thru 20 above, the lower the frequency is with respect to the
corner frequency the better the IRF-150 Power MOSFET performs as an inverter. As the
frequencies increase much higher than the corner frequency the IRF-150 cannot switch fast
enough to follow the input signal (the rising edge time constant is too long per the
switching speed.). This is due to the internal capacitance of the MOSFET.



                                                                                                                                                                                 15

                Maximum Frequency of the IRF-150 Power MOSFET circuit

The maximum frequency is the frequency at which the output just reaches 90% or 10% of
the operating range within a pulse width. Finding the maximum frequency is done through
a little trial and error. Using the corner frequency as a starting position the frequency was
incrementally increased until the output reached 90% of VDD = 4.5 V. This was found to be
approximately 100 kHz, as shown in figure 21 below.

                          Conclusion and Recommendations

As mentioned in previous sections for an ideal inverter (VIL=VIH=Vdd/2=2.5 V, VOH = Vdd=5 V,
VOL=0 V, Noise margins = 2.5 V) and as displayed by table 3 above, the IRF-150 NML is 12%
of the Ideal NM L, while the IRF-150 NMH is -16% of the Ideal NM H. Also noted was the IRF-
150 works best as an inverter at frequencies below 10 kHz because its frequency response
closely resembles a low pass filter with a corner frequency of approximately 56 kHz. Because of
these reasons, I would say that the IRF-150 could be used as an inverter for simple low
frequency circuitry. Also, as mentioned in the power consumption section, each IRF-150 takes
either 56 µW or 25 mW depending upon the state of the inverter. This can create huge problems
in IC’s that require several of these devices to function, but since this is a Power device its
application in the digital world is not as relevant. With its long propagation delay’s and rise/fall
times cause by internal resistance and capacitance this inverter is not well suited for high
frequency applications.




                                                                                                 17

  • 3. EE325, CMOS Design, Lab 3: NMOS Inverter Characteristics Lab Objectives This objective of this lab is to introduce the user into the use and features of one of the most popular analog and digital simulation software packages, PSpice (specifically OrCAD Capture CIS Demo Version 15.7). As an added bonus the user should complete this lab assignment with a greater understanding of the common characteristics of a commercially available n-channel MOSFET. This lab is designed around the IRF-150 Power MOSFET. The lab will evaluate the inverter characteristics of the IRF-150 by generating device characteristic curves, voltage transfer function, frequency response diagram (bode plot), and time domain analysis of specific frequencies needed to compute the IRF-150’s characteristic rise/fall times, and propagation delays. Requirements and Design Approaches / Trade-offs There are no specific design requirements for this project since it is not a design project, but a PSpice learning lab. The primary objective of this lab is to learn the procedures and methods in using the PSpice simulation software to identify and analyze key characteristics of the IRF-150 inverter circuit. This circuit and data collected through this lab will be compared against in later labs. 3
  • 4. EE325, CMOS Design, Lab 3: NMOS Inverter Characteristics Characteristic Curves for the IRF-150 Power MOSFET In order to begin analyzing the IRF-150 inverter, you must have OrCAD 15.7 Demo installed (or a later, working variant). Next open OrCAD Capture CIS and create a new project using Analog / Mixed (A/D). After the project space is ready a design schematic should be built as shown in figure 1 below. Building a schematic is as simple as laying down parts and connecting the components with wire. The main PSpice parts/components we will use in this lab are (IRF-150, VDC, VAC, VPULSE, 0Ground, C/ANALOG, R/ANALOG, and Net Alias). Once you have everything pieced together, you are ready to run a PSpice simulation. First, create a new simulation profile for testing the transistors Id-Vd relationships. Next, set the simulation settings to use a DC Sweep, with a Primary Sweep of “Vdrain” from 0 V to 10 V in small 1 mV increments (figure 2), and a Secondary Sweep of “Vgate” from 0 V to 10 V (Note, 2 V to 10 V also works) in 1 V increments (figure 3). I also simulated sweeping Primary and Drain from 0 V to 5 V for future inverter comparisons. The results of these simulations are seen in figures 4 and 5. 0 Vdrain 5Vdc Vgate M1 0 IRF150 5Vdc 0 Circuit used for generating the IRF-150 transistor curves (Id-Vd curves) Figure 1: PSpice circuit used for IRF-150 Id-Vd curves. 4

(0-10V Sweeps). Voltage Transfer Function for the IRF-150 Power MOSFET To generate the voltage transfer function (Vout vs. Vin) of the IRF-150 Power MOSFET, the circuit design was updated to include a 1 kΩ resister after the VDC source “Vdrain”, and a 1 pF capacitor after the 1 kΩ resister going to ground. Two net aliases “Vout” and “Vin” were then added until the circuit finally matched the circuit shown by figure 6. Next the circuit simulation settings were again adjusted. After the Secondary Sweep was removed, the Primary Sweep was updated to sweep “Vgate” from 0 V to 5 V in small 1mV increments (figure 7). The new simulation was run with the results shown by the bottom half of figure 8. You may need to add a trace of “V(Vout)” if you didn’t attach a voltage probe to Vout. Next, a line with a slope of 1 was drawn originating from (0 V, 0 V) to (4 V, 4 V). The intersection of this line with the voltage transfer function graph of V(Vout) was noted as the IRF-150 Power MOSFET’s logic threshold or switching point. This threshold voltage is the point where Vin = Vout, and was determined to be approximately 2.868 V. Next a new plot was added to graph the slope (derivative) of “Vout” (Top half of figure 8). Creating a new plot is as simple as clicking plot/new plot and giving the new plot a trace (In this case d(V(Vout))). The points where the new slope = -1 are used to define the noise margins of this inverter. An easy way to find these locations is by using the search command and typing “search forward level(-1)”. Using this technique twice to find both 6
  • 7. EE325, CMOS Design, Lab 3: NMOS Inverter Characteristics locations where the slope = -1 the following could be defined. Once found you can identify the specific x-value with the “search forward xvalue(###)” command, where ### is the x- value you are searching for. After adding these coordinates the following data was obtained. VIH = minimum HIGH input voltage = 2.8965 V VIL = maximum LOW input voltage = 2.8311 V VOH = minimum HIGH output voltage = 4.9886 V VOL = maximum LOW output voltage = 32.908 mV Using these values the noise margins of the IRF-150 Power MOSFET were calculated as: Noise Margin Low = NM L = VIL – VOL = 2.798 V Noise Margin High = NMH = VOH – VIH = 2.092 V For an Ideal Inverter: NML = VDD/2 – 0 = 2.5 V NMH = VDD – VDD/2 = 2.5 V So IRF-150 NML is approx. +12% of Ideal, and IRF-150 NMH is approx. -16% of Ideal.

It is obvious from this truth table that this circuit is acting as an inverter. A Vin < 2.8311 V (Low) results in a Vout of 5 V (High), while a Vin > 2.8965 V (High) results in a Vout of 0 V (Low). 8
  • 9. EE325, CMOS Design, Lab 3: NMOS Inverter Characteristics Power Consumption of the IRF-150 Power MOSFET Modifications to the circuit used in generating the voltage transfer function (figure 6) are not required (other than switching the V-probe at “Vout” for a W-probe at “Vdrain”) for finding the power consumed, nor are modifications to the simulation settings. By running a simulation using a W-probe at “Vdrain” the following results were obtained as shown by figure 9. 26mW P o Power Consumed as a function of Vin Max Power = 25mW w e (2.8982,24.844m) (5.0000,24.996m) r Power at Vin = 5V -> 25mW 20mW C o n Previously Determined s Logic Threshold, Switching Point u (2.8682,10.685m) m e d 10mW Power at Vin = 0V -> 56uW (2.8308,35.616u) (0.000,56.129u) Min Power = 56uW 0W 0V 0.5V 1.0V 1.5V 2.0V 2.5V 3.0V 3.5V 4.0V 4.5V 5.0V -W(Vdrain) V_Vgate Figure 9: PSpice simulation results showing power consumed by IRF-150 Power MOSFET. As observed from figure 9, minimum power (56 µW) is consumed when the transistor is inverting an input (Vin) logic Low (0) into an output (Vout) logic High (1), however maximum power (25 mW) is consumed when the transistor is inverting an input (Vin) logic High (1) into an output (Vout) logic Low (0). The power consumed at Vin = 0 V is 56µW, while the power consumed at Vin = 5 V is 25 mW. A complex logic circuit composed of 2000 such inverters, where half have a logic 0, and the other half have a logic 1 could consume approx 25W of power (1000 * 56 µW + 1000 * 25 mW = 25.056 W). With today’s IC’s packing millions of transistors this much power therefore heat is way too expensive. 9
  • 10. EE325, CMOS Design, Lab 3: NMOS Inverter Characteristics Small Signal Characteristics of the IRF-150 Power MOSFET In order to find the small signal characteristics of the IRF-150 Power MOSFET, the VDC power source “Vgate” voltage was changed (see figure 10) to the threshold voltage determined by figure 8. Next circuit simulation settings were adjusted for Bias Point analysis, and the check box for calculating small-signal DC gain was checked. “Vgate” was used as the simulation input source and “V(Vout)” was provided as an Output variable name as illustrated in figure 11.

Small data capture from the bottom of PSpice simulation output file… --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ****SMALL-SIGNAL CHARACTERISTICS V(VOUT)/V_Vgate = -1.137E+02 INPUT RESISTANCE AT V_Vgate = 1.000E+20 OUTPUT RESISTANCE AT V(VOUT) = 9.978E+02 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So the gain is approximately 113.7, input resistance is approximately 100 EΩ (exa-ohms) (or higher, due to PSpice limits), and output resistance is approximately 997.8 Ω. At this point it seems that this circuit has a good gain, extremely high input impedance and low output impedance. 10
  • 11. EE325, CMOS Design, Lab 3: NMOS Inverter Characteristics Frequency Response of the IRF-150 Power MOSFET To find the frequency response of the circuit using the IRF-150 a VAC source (with 1 VAC, and the threshold voltage VDC) was swapped for the VDC source “Vgate” as shown in figure 12. Simulation settings were then adjusted to provide a good bode plot diagram showing frequencies from 10Hz to 1GHz (plotted logarithmically) at 10 points per decade as shown by figure 13. The results shown by figure 14 indicated the circuit was behaving like a low pass filter with a corner (f * 3 dB) frequency of 56 kHz. You may need to add a trace of “DB(V(Vout))” This indicates that frequencies less than the corner frequency will respond better (larger gains realized) than frequencies greater than the corner frequency (less gain realized, until eventually the IRF-150 is unable to keep up with the large frequencies and is non-functional.

  • 12. EE325, CMOS Design, Lab 3: NMOS Inverter Characteristics Propagation Delays of the IRF-150 Power MOSFET The circuit was again modified by replacing the VAC source “Vgate” with a Vpulse source as shown by figure 15. This figure was used in conjunction with the variable values used in table 2 for analyzing the circuits propagation delay (current) and digital frequency response (upcoming) sections of this report. For each simulation a Time Domain Analysis was performed to allow the user to see 3 to 5 periods (run to time = 3 to 5 * PER), and step size around 1/1000 of each period as shown by figure 16. Simulation results are shown on figure 17. Table 2: Variables used by PSpice circuit (figure 15).

From the results above we can calculate the following.. Note small error in tPHL and tP may be the result of the two points that reach 5 V. I used the right most point. The large off- shots above 5 V and below 0 V are due to the parasitic capacitance and resistance of the IRF-150 model. tHL = the time it takes output voltage to drop from 4.5 V to .5 V tLH = the time it takes output voltage to rise from .5 V to 4.5 V tPLH = the time it takes output voltage to rise from 0 to 2.5 V tPHL = the time it takes output voltage to fall from 5 V to 2.5 V tHL = 35.789 µs – 35.768 µs = 21 µs tLH = 31.931 µs – 27.478 µs = 4.453 µs tPLH = 28.899 µs – 27.125 µs = 1.774 µs tPHL = 35.778 µs – 35.765 µs = 13 µs Max Switching Frequency = = 223.5 kHz tP = Propagation delay time = .5 * ( tPLH + tPHL) = 831 ns 13
  • 14. EE325, CMOS Design, Lab 3: NMOS Inverter Characteristics Digital Frequency Response of the IRF-150 Power MOSFET Now the IRF-150 Power MOSFET inverters digital response is analyzed using the circuit from the previous section (figure 15) and substituting for the frequencies provided by table 2. The digital response is checked first at the corner frequency of 56 kHz (as done previously), then at 5.6 kHz, and finally at 560 kHz. The results follow (Note, you will need to read the captions next to each figure for an understanding of the results)… 6.0V V o (17.858u,4.9493) (38.451u,5.0000) Frequency = f(3dB) = 56kHz l t a g e 4.0V 2.0V (9.2807u,16.438m) (31.057u,0.000) 0V 0s 10us 20us 30us 40us 50us 60us 70us 80us V(VOUT) V(Vin) Time Figure 18: PSpice simulation results showing digital response of output at frequency of 56 kHz. Note the red is the input square pulse (Vin), and the green is the output inverted response (Vout). This is acting as an OK inverter since the output reaches over 90% of the operating range within a pulse width, however this response should improve with a lower input frequency. 14

Notice the digital response is horrible now. The IRF-150 Power MOSFET simply cannot switch fast enough to follow the input signal. This is now a non-functional inverter. As observed from figures 18 thru 20 above, the lower the frequency is with respect to the corner frequency the better the IRF-150 Power MOSFET performs as an inverter. As the frequencies increase much higher than the corner frequency the IRF-150 cannot switch fast enough to follow the input signal (the rising edge time constant is too long per the switching speed.). This is due to the internal capacitance of the MOSFET. 15
  • 16. EE325, CMOS Design, Lab 3: NMOS Inverter Characteristics Maximum Frequency of the IRF-150 Power MOSFET circuit The maximum frequency is the frequency at which the output just reaches 90% or 10% of the operating range within a pulse width. Finding the maximum frequency is done through a little trial and error. Using the corner frequency as a starting position the frequency was incrementally increased until the output reached 90% of VDD = 4.5 V. This was found to be approximately 100 kHz, as shown in figure 21 below. 6.0V V o Approximation of Max Frequency Response l Output Reaches Approx 90% of Operating Range t By slowly increasing frequencies this freq. was found Approx 4.5V -> 90% of 5V a Frequency = 100kHz g (10.000u,4.4542) e 4.0V 2.0V 0V 5us 6us 7us 8us 9us 10us 11us 12us 13us 14us 15us V(VOUT) Time Figure 21: PSpice simulation results of testing freq. = 100 kHz as maximum frequency.

Conclusion and Recommendations As mentioned in previous sections for an ideal inverter (VIL=VIH=Vdd/2=2.5 V, VOH = Vdd=5 V, VOL=0 V, Noise margins = 2.5 V) and as displayed by table 3 above, the IRF-150 NML is 12% of the Ideal NM L, while the IRF-150 NMH is -16% of the Ideal NM H. Also noted was the IRF- 150 works best as an inverter at frequencies below 10 kHz because its frequency response closely resembles a low pass filter with a corner frequency of approximately 56 kHz. Because of these reasons, I would say that the IRF-150 could be used as an inverter for simple low frequency circuitry. Also, as mentioned in the power consumption section, each IRF-150 takes either 56 µW or 25 mW depending upon the state of the inverter. This can create huge problems in IC’s that require several of these devices to function, but since this is a Power device its application in the digital world is not as relevant. With its long propagation delay’s and rise/fall times cause by internal resistance and capacitance this inverter is not well suited for high frequency applications. 17
