Problems for minimum Length in Analog circuits
Oct 13th, 2004, 1:55am
 
HI,

I designed Voltage regulator using NMOS pass transistor, Here, I used NMOS with w=5u, l=0.35u and M=6 to get low resistance. Can we use minimum length for analog circuits... if not what problems...

Regards

Hello,

Why cannot you use minimum length for pass transistor. Although the minimum channel length is avoided when designing opamp, current mirror, etc., I think it is a good choice when you design a pass transistor.

We choose longer channel length for good matching, noise consideration. But for a pass transistor used in a voltage regulator, the concern is small series resistance.

Do you agree with me?
