Xsim: A Compact Model for Bridging Technology Developers and Circuit Designers
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes the ideas and philosophy behind a new compact model (CM) for deep-submicron MOSFETs, called Xsim, which has been developed from scratch over the past few years. Similarities to and differences from existing popular models are pointed out. The opinions on many controversial debates in the CM field are given. The ultimate goal of the CM development in the context of technology/circuit modeling and optimization is outlined.

متن کاملThe Advanced Compact MOSFET Model and its Application to Inversion Coefficient Based Circuit Design
Contemporary MOSFET mathematical models contain many parameters, most of which have little or no meaning to circuit designers. Designers therefore, continue to use obsolete models -such as the MOSFET square law -for circuit design calculations. However, low-voltage, lowpower systems development demands more advanced circuit design techniques. In this paper I present a brief literature review of...
