1 p-channel MOSFET Models DC drain current in the three operating regions: -I D > 0 I D = 0 A ( V SG V T ) I D = µ p C ox ( W L) [ V SG V Tp ( V SD 2) ]( 1 λ p V SD )V SD ( VSG V Tp, V SD V SG V Tp ) I D = µ p C ox ( W ( 2L) )( V SG V Tp ) 2 ( 1 λ p V SD ) ( VSG V Tp, V SD V SG V Tp ) The threshold voltage with backgate effect is given by: Numerical values: V Tp = V TOp γ p (( V SB 2φ n ) 2φ n ) µ p C ox is a measured parameter. Typical value: µ p C ox = 25 µav µmV 1 λ p L V Tp = -0.7 to -1.0 V, which should be approximately -V Tn for a well-controlled CMOS process

2 MOSFET Small-Signal Model Concept: find an equivalent circuit which interrelates the incremental changes in i D, v GS, v DS, etc. Since the changes are small, the small-signal equivalent circuit has linear elements only (e.g., capacitors, resistors, controlled sources) Derivation: consider for example the relationship of the increment in drain current due to an increment in gate-source voltage when the MOSFET is saturated-- with all other voltages held constant. v GS = V GS v gs, i D = I D i d -- we want to find i d = (?) v gs We have the functional dependence of the total drain current in saturation: i D = µ n C ox (W/2L) (v GS - V Tn ) 2 (1 λ n v DS ) = i D (v GS, v DS, v BS ) Do a Taylor expansion around the DC operating point (also called the quiescent point or point) defined by the DC voltages (V GS, V DS, V BS ): 2 i D 1 i D i D = I D ( v v gs ) -- ( v GS 2 2 gs ) 2 v GS If the small-signal voltage is really small, then we can neglect all everything past the linear term -- i D i D = I D ( v v gs ) = I D g m v gs GS where the partial derivative is defined as the transconductance, g m.

3 Transconductance The small-signal drain current due to v gs is therefore given by i d = g m v gs. D i D = I D i d v gs V GS = 3 V G S B V DS = 4 V i d v GS = V GS v gs i D (µa) g m = i d / v gs v GS = V GS = 3 V V DS (V)

4 Another View of g m * Plot the drain current as a function of the gate-source voltage, so that the slope can be identified with the transconductance: D i D = I D i d v gs V GS = 3 V G S B V DS = 4 V 600 i D (v GS, V DS = 4 V) i D i d g m = i d / v gs (µa) v GS = V GS = 3 V v GS = V GS v gs v GS (V)

5 Transconductance (cont.) Evaluating the partial derivative: g m = µ n C W ox ---- ( VGS V L Tn )( 1 λ n V DS ) Note that the transconductance is a function of the operating point, through its dependence on V GS and V DS -- and also the dependence of the threshold voltage on the backgate bias V BS. In order to find a simple expression that highlights the dependence of g m on the DC drain current, we neglect the (usually) small error in writing: g m W 2I 2µ n C ox ---- D = ID = L V GS V Tn For typical values (W/L) = 10, I D = 100 µa, and µ n C ox = 50 µav -2 we find that g m = 320 µav -1 = 0.32 ms How do we make a circuit which expresses i d = g m v gs? Since the current is not across the controlling voltage, we need a voltage-controlled current source: gate i d drain v gs source g m v gs

6 Output Conductance We can also find the change in drain current due to an increment in the drainsource voltage: i D W g o = = µ v n C ox ( VGS V DS 2L T ) 2 λ n λ n I D The output resistance is the inverse of the output conductance 1 1 r o = = g o λ n I D The small-signal circuit model with r o added looks like: i d = g m v gs (1/r o )v ds gate drain i d v gs g m v gs ro v ds source

7 Backgate Transconductance We can find the small-signal drain current due to a change in the backgate bias by the same technique. The chain rule comes in handy to make use of our previous result for g m : g mb i D = = v BS i D V T V T v BS g mb V T γ n γ n g m = ( g m ) = ( g v m ) = BS 2 2φ p V BS 2 2φ p V BS. The ratio of the front-gate transconductance g m to the backgate transconductance g mb is: g mb g m 2 q ε s N a 1 q ε s N a = = = 2 C ox 2φ p V C BS ox 2( 2φ p V BS ) C b ( y =0) C ox where C b (y=0) is the depletion capacitance at the source end of the channel -- gate source C b (0) depletion region channel bulk

8 MOSFET Capacitances in Saturation source, fringe electric field lines gate,, drain, n n C sb q N (v GS ) C depletion overlap L D overlap L db D region In saturation, the gate-source capacitance contains two terms, one due to the channel charge s dependence on v GS [(2/3)WLC ox ] and one due to the overlap of gate and source (WC ov, where C ov is the overlap capacitance in ff per µm of gate width) 2 C gs = -- WLC 3 ox WC ov In addition, there are depletion capacitances between the drain and bulk (C db ) and between source and bulk (C sb ). Finally, the extension of the gate over the field oxide leads to a small gate-bulk capacitance C gb.

10 Circuit Simulation Objectives: fabricating an IC costs $ $100,000 per run ---> nice to get it right the first time check results from hand-analysis (e.g. validity of assumptions) evaluate functionality, speed, accuracy,... of large circuit blocks or entire chips Simulators: SPICE: invented at UC Berkeley circa commercial versions: HSPICE, PSPICE, I-SPICE,... (same core as Berkeley SPICE, but add functionality, improved user interface,...) EE 105: student version of PSPICE on PC, limited to 10 transistors other simulators for higher speed, special needs (e.g. SPLICE, RSIM) Limitations: simulation results provide no insight (e.g. how to increase speed of circuit) results sometimes wrong (errors in input, effect not modeled in SPICE) ===> always do hand-analysis first and COMPARE RESULTS
