I am trying to simulate the effect of bulk voltage on drain current. This question is also present in the book "Design of Analog CMOS Integrated Circuits" by Behzad Razavi. I am trying to plot the drain current as a bulk voltage varies from 0 to 3V. (please see the image attached with this thread)
I used the following spice code:
The simulation output file shows the following errors
"These supply currents failed to converge:
I(VS) = 10.00GA \ 10.00GA
I(VX) = -10.00GA \ -10.00GA
ERROR(ORPSIM-15659): Discontinuing simulation due to convergence problem"
Where am I going wrong?
I am attaching a copy of the circuit here.
I used the following spice code:
