Semiconductor MESFET Device: This device is translated as a nonlinear N-type GaAsFET device. For information on the GaAsFET model, refer to the Statz_Model:Statz (Raytheon) GaAsFET Model.

Example SPICE Command Line:
z1 1 2 3 Zmodel 2 OFF IC=0.6, 5.0
SPICE dialect and netlist syntax:

Spice2/3:

zid nd ng ns mname [area] [OFF] [IC=vds, vgs]

PSpice:

Does not exist

HSpice:

Does not exist

ADS Netlist Syntax:

mname: zid nd ng nd Area=area Region=0

ADS Schematic Symbol:

Instance Parameters:

zid

=

GaAsFET element name

area

=

Area factor

OFF

=

Indicates an initial condition on the device for dc analysis. Translates to Region=0.

ic=vds, vgs

=

The initial condition specification intended for use with the UIC option on the .TRAN control line. Not translated.
