How to plot gmn+gmp in cadence using calculator?
May 3rd, 2012, 5:57pm
 
So i am trying to plot gmn (transconductance of NMOS) + gmp (transconductance of PMOS) vs Vin. I was able to save gmn and gmp for eacd DC operating points, then i plot the result of gmn and gmp. But when i try to use the calculator to plot expression (gmn + gmp), the calculator seems unable to evaluate it. I am not sure if i am doing this correctly?

Larry_80,
Did you use the same values for Vin?

Raja,

 Try opening the Results Browser, then selecting dcOpInfo
for the desired device select the dc operating point parameter
you would like and send it to the Calculator. Repeat for the
opposite polarity device.

Example:
Results Browser: dcOpInfo --> NM0 --> gm, see selectgm.tif

Also attached is an example of the plotting the sum of a pch and
nch gm, see plots.tif
