Reduction of complex MOS structures used in switch-level simulators

摘要

The ratio of a transistor's width to its length is the only geometric parameter available to design engineers that affects the performance of a MOS transistor. This ratio, known also as the shape factor, defines the transistor strength. Most switch-level simulators are built with Knowledge o the transistor strength. In this paper, a theory that will provide a method for calculating the equivalent transistor strength (shape Factor) of complex MOS transistor structures is developed.
