Circuit Conditions--Are all MOS operating in active region?

EESJ

I am a little confused on the use of the circuit conditions tool in spectre. Will spectre highlight a transistor when it is operating in active region or when the device is in its triode region?

  • Hi Battu,

     

    I understand this function, but say I am biasing a transistor at the edge of triode ...Will this be highlighted? Say I can clearly see on DC annotation that my transistor is in saturation ie Vgs-Vth < Vds....why is the transistor still highlighted? An example of this would be a simple diode connected transistor.
