MOS_Model9_Process:Philips MOS Model 9 (Process Based)

The SPICE MOS9 MOSFET model is translated to the ADS MOSFET MOS_Model9_Process. 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=50 ler=1e-6 wer=10e-6 ...
SPICE Dialect and Netlist Syntax:

PSpice:

HSpice:

.model mname NMOS | PMOS LEVEL=50 [param=value]*

ADS Netlist Syntax:

model mname MOSFET NMOS=[0|1] PMOS=[0|1] Type=2 [param=value]*

ADS Schematic Symbol:
Model Parameters:

All parameter names for this model are the same between HSpice and ADS except for the addition of Type=2 to indicate the process level model. However, while the parameter names are the same, most default values are different. Additionally, HSpice supports different default values between the NMOS and PMOS implementations.

The ADS defaults are from an earlier version of the Phillips model. This should not affect the translation because the translator will fill in the proper HSpice defaults. Consult your HSpice manual for the HSpice defaults if needed. All defaults supplied by the translator are from HSpice V99.2.
