Depletion-MOS-Transistors in circuit-simulators

Because of there advantages is the application of Depletion-Transistors in demand. In the commonly used circuit-simulators are usually only enhancement-transistors as a build-in-model present. That’s way we apply macro-models for the depletion-transistor with use of the build in enhancement-models in a Subcircuit (Picture 1):

Depletion-Subcircuit

Picture 1: Macromodel of the Depletion-Transistor top

The proposed model consists of two MOS-Transistors and a current-source. Every part of the macro-model models a different range of the Transfer characteristic. Additionally is a ar-rangement for the soft transition of the different ranges present. The developed approach avoids discontinuous or other mathematical problems. In the picture 2 and 3 are the achieved modelling-results presented. top

Transfer characteristic 1

Picture 2: Transfer characteristic
Vds=0.1V, Vbs=0, -1, ... -5V

Transfer characteristic 2

Picture 3: Transfer characteristic subthreshold
Vbs=0,-0.2... -1,-2 ... -5V

It is possible to apply the macromodel, used in the pictures above, in a wide range of commonly used circuit-simulators. top
