Abstract / Description

Recent trends in compact device modelling and circuit simulation suggest a growing movement towards standardisation of Verilog-A as a vehicle for semiconductor device specification and model interchange among commercial and open source simulators. This paper introduces a nonlinear equation defined device characterised by current, voltage and charge equations with a similar syntax to Verilog-A. The equation defined device has been implemented in Qucs and used extensively as a central feature in an interactive modelling system that allows straightforward prototyping of compact device models prior to translation into Verilog-A. To illustrate the properties and use of the Qucs equation defined device a number of examples centred on well-known SPICE models are described.
