CMOS PHOTODIODE MODEL USING VHDL-AMS

Abstract

The objectives of this research is to designed and simulated CMOS photodiodes models using
VHOL-AMS with the AOVance-MS (AOMS) simulation tool of Mentor Graphics. The Photodiode
models show a logarithmic response in illumination and are capable of detecting blue or green light
emitting diode. The result is fast and thorough design verification before the expense of fabrication.
