Labs:

Prelabs are due at the beginning of the lab. Lab reports are due at the beginning of the next lab. You will be working with partners during the lab, and all prelabs and lab reports should be turned in as a partnership.

SPICE Models and Datasheets

EE105 SPICE Model File

All of the SPICE models used in these labs are combined into one .mod file, which you can include in your SPICE netlists. Use the syntax described in the SPICE tutorial linked above. The model names are contained in the .mod file, but I will list them here as well:

Part NameModel NameDatasheet
2N3904 NPNQ2N3904[PDF]
2N3906 PNPQ2N3906[PDF]
2N4401 NPNQ2N4401[PDF]
2N4403 PNPQ2N4403[PDF]
ZVN2106A NMOSZVN2106A[PDF]
ZVP2106A PMOSZVP2106A[PDF]
1N1418 DiodeD1N1418None

Note: The MOSFET models are implemented as subcircuits rather than simple model cards. All this means is that you need to use them a little differently. Here is a sample netlist showing how to use the MOSFET SPICE models in a simple circuit (a digital inverter).
