Abstract

This paper presents a simple and accurate nonlinear four-terminal floating nullor (FTFN) macromodel. The FTFN characteristics are simulated by using the new macromodel and are compared with the simulation results obtained by SPICE device models. The results show that the proposed FTFN macromodel represents the CMOS FTFN with approximately the same accuracy as semiconductor SPICE device models but with a significantly reduced computer time.
