LEVEL1_Model:LEVEL 1 MOSFET Model

The SPICE and Spectre Level 1 MOSFET models are translated to the ADS MOSFET LEVEL1_Model. For translation information on the MOSFET device, refer to Mxxxxxxx for SPICE or MOSFET Device for Spectre.

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=1 vto=0 kp=2e-5 ...

Example Spectre Command Line:
model nchmod1 mos1 vto=0.78 gamma=0.56 kp=0.8675e-4 ...

SPICE/Spectre Dialect and Netlist Syntax:
Spice2/3: .model mname NMOS|PMOS LEVEL=1 [param= value]*
PSpice: .model mname NMOS|PMOS LEVEL=1 [param= value]*
HSpice: .model mname NMOS|PMOS LEVEL=1 [param= value]*
Spectre: model mname mos1 type= [ n | p ] [param= value]*

ADS Netlist Syntax:
model mname MOSFET NMOS=[0|1] PMOS=[0|1] Idsmod=1 [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
