Writing Your First Verilog-A Compact Model
13 Mar 2014 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Geoffrey Coram
This talk is directed at device engineers and researchers who need a SPICE-compatible compact model. The assumption is that you understand the physics of the device, you have a set of equations that describe the terminal characteristics, but you’ve never written a compact model before. Some...

DAEAPI Wrapper
25 Mar 2014 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Bichen Wu
DAEAPI is a general format for describing circuit equations in MATLAB. These are differential-algebraic equation systems (DAEs) that are used, for example, by Berkeley MDE (Model Development Environment) for DC, AC, and transient analysis of circuits. This tutorial describes a wrapper around...
