Threshold Voltage Equation
EE 227 notes

-20-
This is a simple threshold model!!!
They get much more complex
Not calculated much by hand
The BSIM model will be more fun
Remember that VT varies with V

Current in the linear region
Once there are free electrons, they can
conduct current.

This is only a model
Derived from physics
Only used for design
All simulators use more complex
models
Good enough for design

When VDS > VGS- VT
Pinch-off occurs
PChannel changes little after this
PCurrent stays about the same
Wait for effective L later

This adds some slope to curves
The (1+V
DS
) term must be placed on
the linear equation also
PThere will be a discontinuity between the
two

Modeling Problems
Spice iterates to solve the voltage and
current equations of the circuit
Transistors have different slopes from
linear to saturated modes
Curve fitting doesnt always work
Model may not Converge to a solution

Designing Analog
These equations get real ugly in a hurry
PDo not come to closed solutions
Most Analog centered around small
signals
Make a simplification
