Re: [SI-LIST] : Idsat variation

Jim,

Thanks for your reply. I'm no device physicist but I don't
think Idsat should be a function of voltage. Certainly voltage
variation affects a CMOS buffer drive strength. However
I was asking for Idsat for the following equation relating drain current
to the gate-to-source voltage for a CMOS device in the ohmic region:

ID=IDsat(VGS-VT)^2

Also, I haven't been able to find the relationship between Idsat
and temperature in my text books.

BTW, for anyone else that wants to contribute - please don't
supply PROPRIETARY information that you have from foundrys that
you work with.

Mike
