CONCLUSION

The intent of the experiment was


familiarization VLSI Electric and Winspice.
The design of VLSI electronic circuits
can be achieved at many different
abstraction levels, wherein each level
represents a different model of the same
information and processes, but with
varying amounts of detail, starting from
system behavior to the most detailed,
physical layout level.
The Electric VLSI Design System is an
open-source Electronic Design
Automation system that can handle
many forms of circuit design, including
Custom IC layout, digital and analog
Schematic Capture, Textual Languages
such as VHDL and Verilog, etc. Electric
also provides an excellent way of
integrating different environments of
design. It also extracts the parasitic
elements such as resistance, inductance
or capacitance from the
interconnections in the circuit designs.
Electric can take python and java
language scripts to design the circuit
which automates the design cycle. It
exports and imports many popular
interchange and manufacturing formats
such as EDIF, GDS-II, CIF, etc.
WinSPICE is short for Windows
Simulation Program with Integrated
Circuit Emphasis. It is a general-purpose
circuit simulation program for nonlinear
dc, nonlinear transient, and linear ac
analyses. Circuits may contain resistors,
capacitors, inductors, mutual inductors,
independent voltage and current
sources, four types of dependent
sources, lossless and lossy transmission
lines (two separate implementations),
switches, uniform distributed RC lines,
and the five most common
semiconductor devices: diodes, BJTs,
JFETs, MESFETs, and MOSFETs. One
advantage of using WinSpice over the
numerous other spice programs
available is that it has no size limitations
on the circuit that will be simulated.
WinSpice reads in circuit descriptions,
analysis descriptions, and output
requests from a text file called a netlist.
The netlist describes a circuit by listing
each component with its respective
value, connection nodes, and any
additional required parameters. Using
WinSpice will make one understand
some simulator details, like netlists, that
some wouldn’t get by using a more
sophisticated program that uses
schematic capture. Schematic capture
allows to draw the schematic and then
simulate it. Although there are other
computer-aided circuit simulators in the
market, WinSpice is the most widely used
and has become the industry standard
on which most commercial circuit
simulators are based. When it was first
developed, WinSpice was limited to
mainframe computers due to its
processor intensive calculations.
After various input connections,
simulations and trials, the expected
outputs of the experiment were
obtained, which means that the
objectives were likewise met.
