ABSTRACT

The same equations are valid for p-channel transistors if the sign of current and voltages is inverted. Thus,

I

V

V

V

is the threshold value of

For the following analysis, two basic assumptions will be made about the process:

1. The native threshold

V

for p-and n-channel transistors does not exceed 4

U

, even in the worst case of process and temperature variation. Practical ways of adjusting the value of

V

according to Equation (16.4) will be discussed in Section 16.8.
