Abstract :
It is shown that some current and proposed SPICE models for MOS thermal noise are inconsistent, either when moving from one operating region to another or when changing model levels. A different model is shown to be consistent with theory in all regions and with all SPICE model levels. The reasons for the inconsistency are explored
