Introduction
So far, we have treated transistors as ideal switches
An ON transistor passes a finite amount of current
Depends on terminal voltages
Derive current-voltage (I-V) relationships
Transistor gate, source, drain all have capacitance
I = C (DV/Dt) -> Dt = (C/I) DV
Capacitance and current determine speed
Also explore what a “degraded level” really means
Terminal Voltages
Mode of operation depends on Vg, Vd, Vs
Vgs = Vg – Vs
Vgd = Vg – Vd
Vds = Vd – Vs = Vgs - Vgd
Source and drain are symmetric diffusion terminals
By convention, source is terminal at lower voltage
Hence Vds 0
NMOS body is grounded. First assume source is 0 too.
Three regions of operation
Cutoff
Linear
Saturation
Capacitance
Any two conductors separated by an insulator have capacitance
Gate to channel capacitor is very important
Creates channel charge necessary for operation
Source and drain have capacitance to body
Across reverse-biased diodes
Called diffusion capacitance because it is associated with source/drain diffusion
