This example shows how to simulate the characteristic curves of an nmos transistor.

We define a basic circuit to drive an nmos transistor using two voltage sources. The nmos transistor demonstrated in this example is a low-level device description.

circuit = Circuit('NMOS Transistor')
circuit.include(spice_library['ptm65nm_nmos'])

# Define the DC supply voltage value
Vdd = 1.1

# Instanciate circuit elements
Vgate = circuit.V('gate', 'gatenode', circuit.gnd, 0@u_V)
Vdrain = circuit.V('drain', 'vdd', circuit.gnd, u_V(Vdd))
# M <name> <drain node> <gate node> <source node> <bulk/substrate node>
circuit.MOSFET(1, 'vdd', 'gatenode', circuit.gnd, circuit.gnd, model='ptm65nm_nmos')

We plot the characteristics \(Id = f(Vgs)\) using a DC sweep simulation.

simulator = Simulator.factory()
simulation = simulator.simulation(circuit, temperature=25, nominal_temperature=25)
analysis = simulation.dc(Vgate=slice(0, Vdd, .01))

figure, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(20, 10))
