The model accounts for intrinsic LDMOS phenomena such as the quasi-saturation effects, voltage-dependent drift resistance, self-heating effects, and Miller capacitance. In contrast to most physical or sub-circuit models, the proposed model not only provides precise simulated results,but also brings a very fast modeling procedure. Furthermore,the model also can be embedded in a commercial SPICE simulator easily. The simulation results using the presented models agree well with the measured ones and the error is less than 5%.展开更多

Through sharing coupling capacitors the proposed charge pump realizes two DC-DC functions in one circuit, which can generate both positive and negative high voltages. Due to sharing of the coupling capacitors, as compared with a previous charge pump designed by us for a TFT-LCD driver IC, the die area and the amounts of necessary external capacitors are reduced by 40% and 33%, respectively. Furthermore, the charge pump＇s power efficiency is improved by 8% as a result of employing the new topology. The designed circuit has been successfully applied in a one-chip TFT-LCD driver IC implemented in a 0.18 μm low/mid/high mixed-voltage CMOS process.展开更多
