All simulation assignments/projects will be done on LTSpice (https://www.analog.com/en/design-center/design-tools-and-calculators/ltspice-simulator.html). If you have access to another circuit simulator such as Spectre or Eldo through another course or through your research lab, you are welcome to use that simulator. Some simple simulation exercises for practice are listed below to get you started.

  * {{courses:ee3002_2019:ltspice_simulation_exercises.pdf|LTSpice Simulation exercises}}
  * {{courses:ee3002_2017:simulationexercises-ee5310.pdf|Other simulation exercises for practice)}}

For the assignments and projects, use the IBM 130nm MOSFET Model Files from: http://www.ee.iitm.ac.in/~nagendra/cadinfo.html
