The block defines the logic levels of the valve inputs as follows:

  • If the voltage at the valve is greater than the threshold voltage, the block interprets the input as logic 1.

  • Otherwise the block interprets the input as logic 0.

The Threshold Voltage is the voltage value at the midpoint between the value of the High level input voltage parameter and the value of the Low level input voltage parameter.

To increase the speed of the simulation, the block does not model all the internal individual MOSFET devices that make up the valve. Assumptions and limitations.

Unit models the valve as follows:

  • The inputs of the valve have infinite resistance and finite or zero capacitance.

  • The output of the valve offers a choice of two models: Linear and Quadratic. Use the Output current-voltage relationship parameters to specify the output model.

  • You can specify the propagation delay for both valve models. For the Linear output, the block sets the value of the output capacitor of the valve so that the resistor-capacitor time constant is equal to the value of the Propagation delay parameters. For the `Quadratic' output, the input demand of the valve is delayed to approximate the value of the Propagation delay parameters.

The initial block conditions depend on the selected output model:

  • For the Linear model, a high initial condition corresponds to the value of the High level output voltage parameter, V_OH, and a low initial condition corresponds to the value of the Low level output voltage parameter, V_OL.

  • For the `Quadratic' model, the high initial state is the value close to the value of the Supply voltage parameter, `Vcc', and the low initial state is the value of `0'.

The output voltage of the unit depends on the selected output model:

  • For the Linear model, a high output value is the value of the High level output voltage parameter and a low value is the value of the Low level output voltage parameter.

  • For the Quadratic model, the output voltage for the High and Low states is a function of the output current. At zero load current, the high level output voltage is Vcc (the value of the Supply voltage parameters) and the low level output voltage is 0.

Constructing the waveform of the input and output signals

You can plot the input and output waveforms of the CMOS NOT block without building a complete model. Use these graphs to study the effect of your selected parameters on the performance of the unit.

  • If you set the block parameters based on a data table, you can compare your graphs to the data table to make sure you set the block parameters correctly.

  • If you have a complete working model but are unsure which manufactured part to use, you can compare your graphs to the datasheets to help you decide.

Assumptions and limitations

This block does not model the internal individual MOSFET devices that make up the valve (except for the last pair of MOSFETs if you have selected Quadratic for the Output current-voltage relationship parameters). This limitation has the following implications:

  • The block does not accurately model the valve response to input noise and inputs near the logic threshold voltage.

  • The block does not accurately model the dynamic response.

In circuits with feedback around a set of logic gates, it may be necessary to set a non-zero propagation delay on one or more gates.
