Symmetrical - ![](attachments/Pasted%20image%2020221001105633.png#invert) ![](attachments/Pasted%20image%2020221001105639.png#invert) People usually can't be bothered with the dotted lines. ![](attachments/Pasted%20image%2020221001105655.png#invert) Almost always know where the bulk is connected - just clutters the schematic. Not clear if n or p-type ![](attachments/Pasted%20image%2020221001105722.png#invert) "Digital" device schematic: ![](attachments/Pasted%20image%2020221001105752.png#invert) Analogue: Slightly misleading as assymetrical (but okay because we normally have the source at the same end) - looks like BJT. Easier to understand circuits. ![](attachments/Pasted%20image%2020221001105832.png#invert) Might add a bulk terminal - when you need a special case for the node not connected normally. ![](attachments/Pasted%20image%2020221001105955.png#invert) ## Special Transistors Low threshold or depletion device - common to draw it like this: ![](attachments/Pasted%20image%2020221001110058.png#invert) Thick channel - special device (can be used for any symbol) Or higher voltage on drain/source: ![](attachments/Pasted%20image%2020221001110136.png#invert) Non-standard, but read in the context of the design. ## Summary ![](attachments/Pasted%20image%2020221001110214.png#invert) [^1] --- # References [^1]: [vr-4602-wk03-sc02-symbols](../../Spaces/University/ELEC4602%20–%20Microelectronics%20Design%20and%20Technology/Lectures/W2/vr-4602-wk03-sc02-symbols.mp4)
