I want to simulate the above in OrCAD PSPICE. Here's my netlist:

Rich (BB code):
* 8.20

 Vdd 1 0 5V

 MP1 3 2 1 1 PMOD
 MN1 3 2 0 0 NMOD

 MP2 4 3 1 1 PMOD
 MN2 4 3 0 0 NMOD

 R1 3 2 1000
 C1 2 4 1uF 

 .MODEL NMOD NMOS (VTO=2)
 .MODEL PMOD PMOS (VTO=-2.0)

 .ic v(2)=5

 .tran 0.5us 10ms 0 1u uic

 .PROBE
 .END
Resistor and capacitor values were chosen for some arbitrary time constant. I just wanted to see the waveforms at Va, Vo and Vi.

V(2) corresponds to the gates of the first CMOS and I set that to 5V to "start" the circuit. However, I'm not seeing any oscillations when I simulate the circuit.

Where did I go wrong?
