LEVEL 50 Philips MOS9 Model

The Philips MOS Model 9, LEVEL 902, is available as LEVEL 50 in Star-Hspice (based on the "Unclassified Report NL-UR 003/94" by R.M.D.A. Velghe, D.B.M. Klaassen, and F.M. Klaassen).

The model has been installed in its entirety, except for the gate noise current.

The Star-Hspice ACM Parasitic Diode Model, using parameters JS, JSW, N, CJ, CJSW, CJGATE, MJ, MJSW, PB, PHP, ACM, and HDIF, has been added. The older parameter IS is not used. The Philips JUNCAP Parasitic Diode Model was added to the Star-Hspice, 99.2 Release. The model parameter JUNCAP=1 selects the JUNCAP Model, JUNCAP=0 (default) selects the Hspice ACM Model.

Using the Philips MOS9 Model in Star-Hspice

1. Set LEVEL=50 to identify the model as the Philips MOS Model 9.

2. The default room temperature is 25 o C in Star-Hspice, but is 27 o C in most other simulators. When comparing to other simulators, set the simulation temperature to 27 with .TEMP 27 or with .OPTION TNOM=27.

3. The model parameter set should always include the model reference temperature, TR, which corresponds to TREF in other levels in Star-Hspice. The default for TR is 21.0 o C, to match the Philips simulator.

4. The model has its own charge-based capacitance model. The CAPOP parameter, which selects different capacitance models, is ignored for this model.

5. The model uses analytical derivatives for the conductances. The DERIV parameter, which selects the finite difference method, is ignored for this model.

6. DTEMP can be used with this model. It is set on the element line and increases the temperature of individual elements relative to the circuit temperature.

7. Since defaults are nonzero, it is strongly recommended that every model parameter listed in LEVEL 50 Model Parameters table be set in the .MODEL statement.

8. Use the model parameter JUNCAP to select one of two available parasitic junction diode models, ACM and JUNCAP. JUNCAP=1 selects the Philips JUNCAP model, JUNCAP=0 (default) selects the Star-Hspice ACM model. The JUNCAP model is available in the Star-Hspice release, version 1999.2 (June 1999).
