Current starved delay element

Abdhkamal
Abdhkamal over 8 years ago

I'm using a current starved delay cell and need to plot the control voltage (the voltage applied to control the delay) versus the delay of the cell.
i mean ,
V control - x Axis
delay - y axis
any suggestions?

    This seems to be a duplicate of this post.

    Several ideas. You can use the delay() function in the calculator and either get this to tell you a single delay value, and then do a parametric sweep of the control voltage - this would directly give you the control voltage on the x-axis and the delay on the y-axis.

    Another approach would be to run a longer transient, and then use the delay function with the "multiple" output choice - this would tell you the delay over time. Then vary the control voltage over time (slowly) along with a pulse source driving the delay cell(s). It might be a bit harder to arrange the axes in this case though (you'd have to do a YvsY on the context menu over the x-axis), but this might be trickier.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
