How can I simulate driving a high capacitance MOSFET with a gate driver IC?
I'm trying to drive a MOSFET with approximately 2nF of capacitance, using a 1EDN7511B gate driver.
Following the data sheet sample circuit, I created this:
and tried to simulate it on LTSpice using ...

Dot parameters LTspice - Transconductance of MOSFET
Below is a very simple circuit to extract the transconductance value of the MOSFET.
As it is known, transconductance is known as Delta (Id) / Delta (Vgate).
For the gate voltage, I defined it as .step ...

Voltage input low of nmos inverter with enhancement load
I have the following schematic in LTSPICE
For each of these circuits I have to find the values for the VOH, VOL, VIL and VIH. To find the input voltages I observe the derivative of the V_out_NMOS ...

Why do I get 9V while the figure in the datasheet says I should get ~4V?
How do I get ~4V from Figure 9.1 below, when I simulate it I get around 9V. Am I doing something wrong?
The source of the original schematic "Figure 9-1" below is the Texas Instruments ...

How do I use ideal MOSFET model in LTspice? or How do I set voltage in node without voltage source?
I want to simulate the principle of 1T1C DRAM cell. But if I model voltage source in Bit line, bit-line voltage is set by its input signal. So I want to seperate bit line, using ideal MOSFET component,...
