Modeling and simulation of insulated-gate field-effect transistor switching circuits

Abstract

A new equivalent circuit for the insulated-gate field-effect transistor (IGFET) is described. This device model is particularly useful for computer-aided analysis of monolithic integrated IGFET switching circuits. The results of computer simulations using the new equivalent circuit are in close agreement with experimental observations. As an example of a practical application, simulation results are shown for an integrated circuit IGFET memory cell.
