The New CMC Standard Compact MOS Model PSP: Advantages for RF Applications

The surface-potential-based compact MOS model PSP is reviewed with special emphasis to features of interest to analog and RF designers. Various aspects of the model are discussed, such as Gummel symmetry, capacitance reciprocity at V DS = 0 V, parasitic resistances, junction modeling, distortion modeling, and noise modeling. Examples from circuit design are used to illustrate the benefits of the PSP model.
