Circuit style comparison based on the variable voltage transfer characteristic and floating /spl beta/ ratio concept of partially depleted SOI

The concept of floating /spl beta/ has been proposed in the literature to describe the hysteretic behavior of the voltage transfer characteristic in PD-SOI devices. In this paper, we analyze in detail the transient transfer characteristic of PD-SOI and the related floating /spl beta/ ratio concept. We have also evaluated PD-SOI circuit techniques in the light of these findings and have made appropriate recommendations for circuit design.
