The default SPICE models for simple_mosfet components were not suitable for
switching applications. This was due to a missing threshold voltage (VTO) and a
low default transconductance (KP), which resulted in a high on-resistance.
This change improves the models by:
• Setting an appropriate VTO for enhancement-mode NMOS and PMOS devices.
• Adding a default KP=0.1 to lower the MOSFET's on-resistance, making it behave
more like an effective switch.
