LTSpice gm vs W/L Characterization


 

How can I characterize gm vs W/L in ltspice. Can anyone provide the testbench explaining the proper steps? 


 

This is really more of a design question than an LTspice question. You might have better chances of a useful answer by going to a forum focused on IC design.
 


 

But, I want the characterization to be done in ltspice


 

You can .STEP both W and L, or a separate parameter equal to their ratio W/L.
 
Do you know how to simulate transconductance, gm?

I want the gm to be at y-axis & W/L in x-axis... Is this possible in ltspice? 


 

Yes.


 

Tell me how? 


 

That depends on how you do the simulation.
 
.STEP command?


 

I do mean that seriously.  How to get W/L on the X-axis depends on how you run the simulation.  If you used a .STEP command, it might plot that way automatically.  Or, you might need to right-click on the X-axis and change the Quantity Plotted for that axis.  Changing the Y-axis to be the transconductance is probably easier but it is probably a formula involving current and voltage.  But it all depends on how you set up and run your simulation.

Have you ever done any simulations in LTspice?

Do you have a schematic of the circuit in question? That would be a good first step in the process, in that it would show:
  1. You're not expecting someone to do everything for you.
  2. You have a specific issue, rather than answering a generic homework question.

I understand that, but you must first convince yourself that you have a method which can gather the data you seek. THEN, it will be time to see if LTspice is up to the task. You're putting the cart befor the horse. That never works out very well.
