VBIC_Model:VBIC Model

The Spectre vbic (Vertical Bipolar Inter-Company) model is translated to the ADS VBIC_Model. For translation information on the BJT device, refer to BJT Device.

For more information on the ADS model, place the model in a schematic and choose Edit > Component > Edit Component Parameters to view the model parameters. You can also click Help in the component editor dialog box for additional information.

Example Spectre Command Line:
model vbic_mod vbic type=npn

Spectre Netlist Syntax:
model mname vbic type=[npn|pnp] [param=value]*

ADS Netlist Syntax:
model mname VBIC NPN=[0|1] PNP=[0|1] [param=value]*

ADS Schematic Symbol:

Model Parameters:

For information on parameter format, refer to Using Parameter Mapping Tables to Understand a Translation.
