چکیده
A technique is introduced to enable the simulation of floating-gate transistors within standard analogue circuit simulators, such as SPICE. This technique can be used in all types of circuit simulations, ranging from DC sweeps to charge-modification scenarios. The technique is then used to simulate several analogue circuits, the results of which show strong agreement with identical circuits fabricated in standard CMOS processes.

A neuron MOS transistor has a floating gate and multiple input gates which are capacitively coupling with the floating gate. Dramatic reduction in the number of transistors and interconnections was achieved by employing the neuron MOS in circuit designs. Since the neuron MOS gate electrode is electrically floating, it is not necessarily easy to calculate the floating gate potential using circui...
