Good morning. I'm looking for a LTspice schematic of a cell memory to simulate. I was thinking in a cmos 6t sram. Memory simulation is a work for my thesis and I need a big help. Thank you so much
My problem is how to set the simulation. On my book, on internet is easy to find a general schematic, but i don't know which kind how nmos/pmos use, which kind of source. My teacher said: "just find a schematic on internet and only made a parametric simulation"
I don't really think you care what NMOS/PMOS you will use. You might as well use an ideal device, or any foundry you like, just to prove the theory of operation.
Vdd is a constant power supply in all the digital circuits you will encounter.
V2 is the controlling voltage "Word Line" that says whether this memory cell will be used or not. If it is HIGH (Vdd) you can read from or write to this cell.
I setted values and started simulation, but don't work.
Between the first and the second cycle of V(wl), V(q) should keep the high value, shouldn't it?
V(q) sounds cut...
I send a more detalied schematic that I done. I corrected the M5 pass-transistor and M2, M3 mos (source-drain inverted).
Now the simulation works but I don't now how connect the M5 and M6 substrate. In this way works but without substrate connection...
I solved the question, I connected correctly the substrate and now works.
I have a question: which parameters I can change for a parametric simulation? The W and L of the inverters' MOS?
I think it's universal that all PMOS substrates are connected to Vcc and all NMOS substrates on Ground. Try it out and see if the problem with the voltage reference persists.
edit: I missed the thread's second page so this post is out of date.
It depends on what you want to study. If you want to find the maximum feasible frequency you should play with it.
If you want to study the response foundry-based, you could reduce L and W.
If you want to study the response based on W, you could do it, to show how W affect rise and fall times.
Keep in mind that as a general rule the two Word Line transistors should be twice as wide as the rest of them, in order to be able to write the bit state fast enough.
