Objective of the lab

To develop an understanding of design and simulation of digital logic circuits.

To get a basic understanding of layout of electronic circuits.

We will use Tanner tools for design and simulation.

This lab introduces us to Tanner tools.

Introduction to Tanner tools

Tanner tool- simulation tool for the class

Upgraded from last year Some slides may look different as you

will see on your computer Slides will be updated to correspond

with the new version of Tanner as we advance into the semester

Page 4: ECE122_Lab1 Tanner Tutorial

Tanner tools consists of the followingL-Edit: Layout editing

LVS: Layout vs. Schematic

S-Edit: Schematic Entry

T-Spice: Simulation

W-Edit: Waveform formatting

Page 5: ECE122_Lab1 Tanner Tutorial

This is S-Edit

Page 6: ECE122_Lab1 Tanner Tutorial

For creating new design go

File->New->New design

Page 7: ECE122_Lab1 Tanner Tutorial

Enter design name and the folder name where you want to save your work.

Page 8: ECE122_Lab1 Tanner Tutorial

Recommendations

Make a new folder in your name and always save all your work there.

Use same system each time so that you don’t have to transfer your old files to another system if needed.

Create a backup of your work if needed as the lab computers are formatted from time to time.

Page 9: ECE122_Lab1 Tanner Tutorial

Now go to Cell->New View

Page 10: ECE122_Lab1 Tanner Tutorial

Hit OK to start with new cell schematic design

Page 11: ECE122_Lab1 Tanner Tutorial

Levels of design in S-Edit The highest level in the S-Edit design

hierarchy is the design file. Files contain modules, which can contain primitive objects or reference to other modules.

A module can further have pages. S-Edit has 2 viewing modes, Schematic

mode and Symbol mode. We can switch between 2 modes using the tabs in the tool bar or using a question mark (?).

Library file path

C:\Documents and Settings\Student\My Documents\Tanner EDA\Tanner Tools v15.0\Process\Generic_200nm\Generic_200nm.tanner

Click here to add libraries

Browse the library file from the path above and hit OK

Page 15: ECE122_Lab1 Tanner Tutorial

Now we will instance first element NMOS from the library Devices and hit done.

Page 16: ECE122_Lab1 Tanner Tutorial

Some useful tips To move an object: Use center wheel of

the mouse. For zoom in and zoom out use + and –

respectively from the key board. To view/edit object properties, select

object and use CTRL+E. Do not use space in your design

names. Do not use special characters in port

names.

Introduction to MOSFET A MOSFET can be

• PMOS

• NMOS A MOSFET is a four terminal device.

Four terminals are:• Gate

• Drain

• Source

• Bulk A MOSFET is symmetrical device

unlike a BJT which means either terminal can be drain or source unless connected in a circuit.

Page 18: ECE122_Lab1 Tanner Tutorial

Introduction to MOSFET

For a PMOS source is always connected to highest voltage in the circuit.

For an NMOS source is always connected to lowest voltage in a circuit.

The bulk is always shorted to the source for both devices.

Page 19: ECE122_Lab1 Tanner Tutorial

Introduction to MOSFET The bulk terminal is identified by an

arrow. We can distinguish PMOS symbol from

NMOS symbol as follows:• PMOS bulk has arrow coming out .

• NMOS bulk has arrow going in. (Tip: remember ‘in’ sounds like N.)

• PMOS gate has a bubble attached to it. There can be different symbols for

PMOS and NMOS for example the bulk may not be shown but the above points hold good for the MOSFETS we will be using from SCMOS library in S-Edit.

Schematic design of an inverter

Today we will design an inverter schematic in S-Edit.

In this class we will design CMOS based logic circuits.

Thus an inverter consists of a PMOS and an NMOS connected in series with PMOS source connected to Vdd and NMOS source connected to Gnd.

Input is applied at the gates. Output is collected from the drains

which are connected together.

Page 22: ECE122_Lab1 Tanner Tutorial

Now we are ready to create a symbol for the schematic design

Page 23: ECE122_Lab1 Tanner Tutorial

Draw the symbol of the module which clearly represents the function if possible.

Page 24: ECE122_Lab1 Tanner Tutorial

Create a new design file just as you did for inverter now to make the schematic for the inverter test bench.

Page 25: ECE122_Lab1 Tanner Tutorial

Add libraries and make sure you also add inverter as a library so that you can instance it.

Voltage sources from spice elements

Types of analysis

DC Operating Point Analysis. DC Transfer Analysis. Transient Analysis. AC Analysis. Transient Analysis, Powerup Mode. Noise Analysis.

Page 30: ECE122_Lab1 Tanner Tutorial

Types of analysis

DC operating point analysis: It finds the circuit’s steady-state condition, obtained (in principle) after the input voltages have been applied for an infinite amount of time.

DC Transfer Analysis: It is used to study the voltage or current at one set of points in a circuit as a function of the voltage or current at another set of points. This is done by sweeping the source variables over specified ranges, and recording the output.

Page 31: ECE122_Lab1 Tanner Tutorial

Types of Analysis Transient Analysis: It provides

information on how circuit elements vary with time.

AC Analysis: It characterizes the circuit’s behavior dependence on small signal input frequency.

Transient Analysis power up mode: Some circuits do not have a DC steady state so it is difficult to specify there initial state. This is done using power up option of the .tran command. It sets entire circuit to zero for time equal to 0.

Propagation Delay Propagation Delay is the amount of time

it takes a change of input to appear as a change on the output.

Propagation Delay is measured from the 50% point on the input signal to the 50% point on the output.

tpHL

Transition time

High-low and low high transition times at the output of a gate are defined as tHL and tLH between the 10% and 90% points.
