Guidelines for Verilog-A Compact Model Coding

The Verilog-AMS hardware description language [1] includes extensions dedicated to compact modeling, but does not define a reserved subset for compact modeling. This lack of specification combined ...

How Verilog-AMS accelerates transistor modeling

Before circuit design can begin on any advanced semiconductor manufacturing process, the electrical behavior of the devices — transistors, diodes, resistors — must be described accurately in so-called ...

Pick Your SPICE Models Carefully

While the basic simulation program with integrated circuit emphasis (SPICE) hasn't changed over the past 40 years, the simulation models for metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs ...
