Understanding MOSFET Mismatch for Analog Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
Despite the significance of matched devices in analog circuit design, mismatch modeling for design application has been lacking. This paper addresses misconceptions about MOSFET mismatch for analog design. t mismatch does not follow a simplistic 1 ( area) law, especially for wide/short and narrow/long devices, which are common geometries in analog circuits. Further, t and gain factor are not appropriate parameters for modeling mismatch. A physically based mismatch model can be used to obtain dramatic improvements in prediction of mismatch. This model is applied to MOSFET current mirrors to show some nonobvious effects over bias, geometry, and multiple-unit devices.

This paper presents a new model for MOSFET mismatch, based on physical process parameters and characterization by backward propagation of variance. Experimental data show significantly more accurate modeling of MOSFET mismatch over geometry and bias than previously reported models. The new approach allows identification of the fundamental cause of mismatch, for process diagnosis. Introduction M...

Bulk-driven MOSFET technique meets the low-voltage and low-power requirements demanded in the modern analog circuit design. Due to submicron/nanometer technologies and critical short-channel effects, choosing a suitable MOSFET model for circuit design becomes increasingly important. However, the conventional MOSFET models normally set up for the typical gate-driven applications may not perform ...
