  • 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
