I am trying to figure out why there is 2.55mA running through the drain of M1? Its seems way too high....

The currents out of the Source of M1 & M2 are negative, due to LTspice's definition, but they are flowing the correct way.

Does anybody know why M1's drain current is so high? is their something wrong with my circuit design/DC Biasing?

Did you check your gate and substrate currents?
Probably not. That current has to be going somewhere.

You didn't post your cmosedu_models.txt file. Sometimes people put ground references in subcircuits, which can cause unexpected problems in a simulation.

Thanks for the response Sgt Wookie. I tried connecting the substrate to the drain, and the drain current went down, but now the source currents are not in unison. (See Attached Photos)

Do you think I need to use a diffrernt NMOS model? I have included the txt file with the parameters. I am using the N_50, which I got from Jake Baker's website. (I also included the DC Parameters from the original circuit)

Any other other insight you might have on how to fix this mystery current? Or if anyone else knows how to fix this problem, please jump in.
