Matlab Models

Download a set of matlab (©) models that capture the basic equations for transistors and inverters, as introduced in the textbook. The model archive (6 kB) contains the following functions:

Transistor static models

• mos(W, L, vgs, vds, vsb, technology): captures the unified DSM MOS model as introduced in the text
  technology is a vector with 8 elements [type vt0 gamma beta lambda vdsat ld wd] (type is 1 for NMOS, -1 for PMOS)
• threshold(vsb, type, vt0, gamma): computes the actual threshold of the transistor as a function of the body bias
• nmos025(W, L, vgs, vds, vsb) and pmos025(W, L, vgs, vds, vsb): compute the MOS model for the 0.25 micron CMOS technology used in the text
• nmos025id and pmos025id: plots the id(vds) curves for the 0.25 micron transistors. A 2.5 V range of voltages is assumed.
• nmos025vgs: generate the id(vgs) curves for the 0.25 micron transistors. A 2.5 V range of voltages is assumed.

Transistor capacitive models

• gatecap(W,L,ctech, region): computes the gate cap and its distribution dependent upon the operation regaion. region is the operational region of the transistor (cutoff=0, linear=1 or sat=2). ctech is an 8 element vector containing the essential technology parameters needed to compute the capacitances: [tox, cov, cj, mj, pb, cjsw, mjsw, pbsw]
• junctioncap(vb, cj0, m, phi): computes the junction cap as a function of the bias voltage
• moscap(W, L, vgs, vds, vsb, tech, ctech): generates a vector containing the 5 transistor capacitances
  [cgs cgd cgb cdb csb].  tech and ctech are the transistor and capacitance technology vectors respectively. 
• nmos025cap(W, L, vgs, vds, vsb) and pmos025cap(W, L, vgs, vds, vsb): compute the capacitances of 0.25 micron NMOS and PMOS transistors
• keq(vb, m, phi): computes the linearizing keq factor as a function of the voltage range

Inverter models

• inverter_vtc(vdd, wn, ln, wp, lp): Plots the voltage transfer characteristic of an inverter as a function of supply voltage and transistor dimensions. WARNING: This functions takes some compute time!
• inverter_threshold(vdd, wn, ln, wp, lp): computes the inverter threshold as a function of the transistor dimensions
• inverter_gain(vdd, wn, ln, wp, lp): computes the gain at VM. It returns two values, one obtained from the simple equation in the book, the second one taking the channel-length modulation into account.
