Testing of a GaAs MESFET Static RAM
This paper describes the complete test, functional and parametric, of a 1Kb GaAs MESFET SRAM chip. The chip was developed as an evaluation vehicle for a new type of MESFET SRAM cell. The new cell, in contrast with conventional GaAs memory cells, minimizes the leakage current in access transistors of unselected cells. Two algorithms were selected for functional testing: MATS and Galloping Ones a...
متن کاملA Realistic Large-Signal MESFET Model for SPICE
A comprehensive large-signal MESFET model that provides a realistic description of measured characteristics over all operating regions is presented. It describes subthreshold conduction and breakdown. It has frequency dispersion of both transconductance and drain conductance, and derates with power dissipation. All derivatives are continuous for a realistic description of circuit distortion and...
متن کاملA Large-signal Compatible Dual-gate Mesfet Dc Model
This paper presents a simple yet powerful dualgate MESFET (DGFET) DC model. It is based on a single 3-dimensional power series expression and provides a high degree of freedom making it generally applicable. Further, it enables analytical parameter extraction. The model is capable of tracking I/V measurements and derivatives in a large bias range and, hence, is large-signal compatible. Results ...
متن کاملPerformance of GaAs MESFET Mixers at X Band
A theoretical analysis and experimental verification of the signal properties of the GaAs MESFET mixer are presented. Experimental techniques for evaluating some of the mixer parameters are described. Experiments performed on GaAs MESFET mixers at X band show that good noise performance and large dynamic range can be achieved with conversion gain. A conversion gain over 6 dB is measured at 7.8 ...
متن کاملLarge-Signal Nonlinear Model for MESFET Triode and Saturation Zones
This paper presents a new large-signal nonlinear model for the GaAs MESFET triode and saturation zones. The model is specially tailored for simulating nonlinear distortion of RF circuits, in which the active device is biased in those regions. This new model will be compared to similar results obtained from a previously presented model and to real measurements of a microwave MESFET from Microwav...
