Test Run

Let's take ElectricVLSI for a test run and do a simple voltage divider.

You have two options: you can either download the "Test_Run" project from GitHub and test it to ensure everything works correctly, or you can create the project from scratch.

If you decide to create the project from scratch, follow the following steps:

  • You should have ElectricVLSI installed at this point
  • Create a folder called "Test_Run"
  • Open Electric VLSI
  • Under the symbol that says "noname", right click and select "Create New Cell"

  • Select "schematic" and call it "voltage_divider"

  • At this point you can save the project under the "Test_Run" folder with whatever name you like.
  • Create a voltage divider and write the spice code to apply 5V at Vdd and check the output voltage between the resistors.

Note

I will try to create a video or article that explains how to select the components to create the voltage divider and some words on spice code, but for now you can follow this link if you feel lost while designing the circuit.

Note

If you get an error that prevents you to start the simulation, try to close and open ElectricVLSI. That is usually sufficient to solve the issue.

  • LTSpice output

If this works, we are all set and ready to start using the tool.
