6.9 Signal Restoration, Gain and Nonlinearity


  • Logic devices must incorporate both gain and nonlinearity to provide nonzero noise margins
  • Logic devices must demonstrate a gain greater than unity when transition from VIL to VIH

6.7 Physical Structures of MOSFET

  • The on-resistance of MOSFET depends on its physical properties (ie. geometry)
  • Silicon doped with material rich in electrons is called n-type semiconductor (n+
  • Silicon doped with material rich in holes is called p-type semiconductor (p+)
 

  • Ron is the resistance of n channel
  • Rn is resistance per square of n channel MOSFET in on state.
  • Ron = (Rn*L)/W
  • In VLSI technology, there is min fabricatable value for MOSFET channel length

SR Model of MOSFET

  • S model is a gross simplification of MOSFET
  • A practical MOSFET displays a non-zero resistance between its D and S terminals when it is on
  • A more accurate model of MOSFET uses resistance Ron between D & S.
  • SR model is still a gross simplification of MOSFET behavior.( Ron is not fixed but a function of VGS)
  • Fixed resistance model is simpler and suffices for analyzing some aspect of digital circuit because the gate voltage is bimodal.
  • SR model is valild only when VDS <= VGS - VT and when there is only one value for gate voltage when input is high ( VGS = VS)
