  • Abstract
    A method to approximate nFET passgate resistance using the compact EKV model is presented. The model picks a mobility that has a greater effect on channel current than higher-order MOS effects in order to approximate the worst-case current over a drain-source voltage range. The model is compared to data taken from an IC that was fabricated in a 0.5 mum, scalable CMOS process available through MOSIS.
