Help--about Ron of POWERMOS

[firry]

hi, who can tell me how to simulate the Ron of Power MOS FET and get a typical value??? thanks

It depends on Vds of the PowerMOS, e.g Vds=0.2, Vgs=Vdd.

It depends on Vds of the PowerMOS, e.g Vds=0.2, Vgs=Vdd.

the FET operate as a resistor when it works in deep triode region with the condition Vds<<2(Vgs - Vth),but the range of the condition is very large.
when simulation, use Ron=Vds/Id, we can get a curve of Ron. but Ron is not a
constant value, how can i get a typical value?

This problem is very difficult .good .appaulse

what is the usage of your typical Rds? I think that different situation requires different perspective for interpreting "typical Rds".

There is a certain value,such as 300mΩ, of the POWER MOSFET's Ron in some chip datasheet. How can i give my POWER MOSFET a certian Ron value?

I think you have to check the measurement condition of the datasheet specified or check other comparable device specification/measurement conditions to do your measurement.

The question lies in how to simulate the Ron in spice .

hi,paulux
Thanks for replied.
The datesheet have not specified the measurement/specification conditions.
I want to choose the minimum value but it maybe has some problems.

i think the typical Ron is measured in the typical condition the MOS used, e.g vgs=5,vds is very small and the MOS can be regarded to work in deep linear region, then calculate the Ron just using Vgs and the other device parameter such as W/L , Kp etc.

generally, for powermos Ron, Vds=0.1V / 0.2V; Vgs is usually given by the process. Say, for a 5V Vgs process, use Vgs=5V; for a 25v Vgs process, use Vgs=25v.
According to my experience

Simulate a resistor and power mos between vdd and gnd. Power mos need be post file from layout. Estimate Ron from data of foundry, and adding resistor of metal and via.
