[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] Circuit Waveform Analyzer needed for MOS networks

gwang@ncsa.uiuc.edu (George Wang) (03/24/91)

Hello! I am looking for a MSDOS PC based program that will output
waveform diagrams for circuit-level components such as MOS and CMOS...
I've found some programs that does output waveforms for LOGIC GATES like
NAND, NOR, XOR (Bsquared and Micrologic) but haven't found such a thing
for MOSfets..

I do know that PSPICE can do outputs but they don't seems to allow
multiple pulse input streams (with different clock freq and phases) and
also doesn't seem to vary with time... Does anyone know how to setup
SPICE to handle multiple-PULSE input streams and work with the time
domain?

Thanks
George

Use a pulse independent source for each input stream...  The form is
 
 Vxxxxxx N+ N- PULSE(V1 V2 TD TR TF PW PER)
where Vxxxx is the name of the voltage source
      N+ and N- are + and - terminals respectively
      V1 is the initial value
      V2 is the pulsed value
      TD is the time from 0 until the pulse starts rising
      TR is the rise time
      TF is the fall time
      PW is the time the pulse is at V2
      PER is TR+PW+TF+time between pulses (period)

 The do a TRAN analysis...

 For more info, get the book _Computer-aided_Circuit_Analysis_Using_SPICE_
 by Walter Banzhaf, published by Prentice Hall.  Although it is a poorly
 written book IMHO, it does serve as a good reference if you already know
 spice.  There are also many other Spice books out there, any university
 engineering library should have a host of them.
