Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the specifications of the CD4007 MOSFET, specifically the threshold voltage (Vtn), the transconductance parameter (kn), and the channel length modulation parameter. Participants explore where to find these values and discuss the relevance of datasheets and SPICE models in obtaining this information.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about the values of Vtn, kn, and channel length modulation for MOSFET 6 on the CD4007 and seeks guidance on where to find this information.
  • Another participant suggests that the datasheet would be the obvious starting point for this information.
  • A different participant questions the assumption that the datasheet would contain the requested values, indicating that they may be foundry and process dependent and not typically available.
  • This participant also proposes looking for a SPICE model to extract the data, providing a link to a lab example and including a SPICE model for both NMOS and PMOS transistors from the CD4007.
  • The original poster expresses intent to run a SPICE model to obtain the needed specifications.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the availability of the requested specifications in the datasheet, with some suggesting it may not be present while others assume it should be. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the best source for the values.

Contextual Notes

Participants note that the values may be dependent on the specific foundry and process used, which could limit the applicability of the datasheet. There is also an indication that the SPICE model may provide a more reliable means of obtaining the parameters.

I'm looking for the threshold voltage Vtn, the MOSFET transconductance parameter kn and the channel length modulation parameter for MOSFET 6 on the CD4007. Where can I look these values up?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
did you try the datasheet ?
would be the obvious starting place :wink:

cheers

Did YOU try the data sheet? Not such an obvious place for what was being asked.

Moving on:

OP, Which FET do you consider to be #6?

The answer would be foundry and process dependent and I doubt it is available on any data sheet. Maybe you can look for a spice model and either read the model (if it is readable), or use spice to extract the data.

Here is a lab example

EDIT

Here is the spice model

Thanks, I'll run a SPICE model to get it!
