Design, Simulation and Comparative Analysis of CNTFET Based Astable Multivibrator

In this paper, Astable Multivibrator (AMV) circuits are designed and simulated using pure Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistors (CNTFETs) as well as hybrid CNT-CMOS technology, and simulation results are compared with conventional CMOS technology by varying the value of resistor- ‘R’, capacitor- ‘C’, supply voltage- ‘Vdd’ and temperature- ‘T’. It has been found that novel CNT-based AMV outperforms conventional CMOS-based AMV and the performance of hybrid circuits exists between PURE-CNT-AMV and CMOS-AMV. The rise time and fall time of PURE-CNT-AMV are improved by 97.2
