ron and 1/gds of Cadence Spectre
Nov 28th, 2008, 2:01am
 
Any expert of Cadence Spectre.

Cadence Spectre give ron and gds as DC operation point of bsim3v3 MOSFET.
Here ron is not eqaul to 1/gds.

What is different between ron and 1/gds ?
If I want to know an estimation of on resistance of drain and source, which value should I use, ron or 1/gds ?

I think ron = vds / id, in some sense the "large-signal" resistance, whereas gds is the slope of id with respect to vds at the operating point.

If at first you do succeed, STOP, raise your standards, and stop wasting your time.

Thanks for response.
So ron is suitable than 1/gds for my application.
