Device Modeling for Analog and RF CMOS Circuit Designy

Аннотация

The book is accompanied by two software application tools, AIM-Spice and MOSCalc. AIM-Spice is a version of SPICE with standard SPICE parameters, very familiar to many electrical engineers and electrical engineering students. Running under the Microsoft Windows family of operating systems, it takes full advantage of the available graphics user interface. The AIM-Spice software will run on all PCs equipped with Windows 95, 98, ME, NT 4, 2000, or XP. In addition to all the models included into Berkeley SPICE (Version 3e.1), AIM-Spice incorporates BSIM4, EKV, and MOSA1, which were covered in Chapters 6, 7, and 8. A limited version of AIM-Spice can be downloaded from ww.aimspice.com. The second tool, MOSCalc, is a Web-based calculator for rapid estimates of MOSFET large- and small-signal parameters. The designer enters the gate length and width, and a range of biasing voltages and/or the transistor currents, whereupon quantities such as gate overdrive voltage, effective threshold voltage, drain-source saturation voltage, all terminal currents, transconductance, channel conductance, and all small signal intrinsic capacitances are calculated. MOSCalc is available at ngl.fysel.ntnu.no.
