PMOS Triode Mode I–V Calculator

Calculate the drain current \(I_D\) for a PMOS transistor operating in the triode region.

* Enter voltages as positive magnitudes. Ensure \(V_{SG} > V_{TP}\) and \(V_{SD} < V_{SG} - V_{TP}\).

Step 1: Enter PMOS Parameters

Source-to-Gate Voltage, \(V_{SG}\) (V)

e.g., 3.0 V

Threshold Voltage, \(V_{TP}\) (V)

e.g., 1.0 V (absolute value)

Source-to-Drain Voltage, \(V_{SD}\) (V)

e.g., 0.5 V (must be less than \(V_{SG} – V_{TP}\))

Process Parameter, \(k_p\) (A/V²)

e.g., 0.001 A/V²

\(W/L\) Ratio

Dimensionless (e.g., 10)
