Hi, anyone have some experience design flip flop in ltspice? Currently Im trying to design a flip-flop in ltspice unfortunately the output is not what I want

This is my design, for the transistors I'm using 45nm model : PMOS (l=45n, W=180n) NMOS (l=45n, 90n)
Parameters:
Vdd : 1.9v
clk : pulse wave with period 10ms

Output


the flip-flop triggered at both rising edge and falling edge, this is my first time using spice to design digital logics, any suggestions on what should i play around with in here. Thank you in advance

 

Your initial waveform may be due to start-up conditions.

Why are you using a PMOS switch in one feedback path and an NMOS in the other? Will either of those work well for both polarities of signal that needs to be stored?

from what i read, this is a master slave flip-flop so one of the latch is a low phase latch and other high phase latch...

the cycle look like this, i know that i should put transmission gate rather than just pass transistors, I've tried it but the result is still the same

 

And what, precisely, is wrong with the result? Is it that initial output that is part way between the supplies that goes to a firm output on the first rising clock edge?

Try putting in some initial conditions to give the charge-storage nodes a meaningful initial value.

You might also try buffering your signals with CMOS inverters/buffers so that you aren't contaminating the simulation with drive signals from ideal sources.

 

V(q) changes at both edges of the clock, Thank you for the suggestions i will try it

Thank you, it works when i drive the clk with buffer. Can i know what do you mean by contaminating it from ideal sources?

 

Ideal voltage sources can deliver an unbounded amount of current along with infinitely fast edges. That creates artifacts in some circuits because of charge injection into sensitive charge-storage nodes.
