LEVEL3_Model:LEVEL 3 MOSFET Model

The SPICE Level 3 MOSFET model is translated to the ADS MOSFET LEVEL3_Model. For translation information on the MOSFET device, refer to MOSFET Device.

For more information on the ADS model, place the model in a schematic and choose Edit > Component > Edit Component Parameters to view the model parameters. You can also click Help in the component editor dialog box for additional information.

Example SPICE Command Line:

.model nch nmos level=3 vto=0 kp=2e-5 ...

SPICE Dialect and Netlist Syntax:

Spice2/3:	.model mname NMOS | PMOS LEVEL=3 [param=value]*
PSpice:	.model mname NMOS | PMOS LEVEL=3 [param=value]*
HSpice:	.model mname NMOS | PMOS LEVEL=3 [param=value]*

ADS Netlist Syntax:

model mname MOSFET NMOS=[0|1] PMOS=[0|1] Idsmod=3 [param=value]*

Comments:

ADS does not support NRD, RDC, NRS or RSC MOSFET parameters. If RD or RS are not given, they will be calculated as follows:

RD=NRD*RSH+RDC

RS=NRS*RSH+RSC
