JFET_Model:Junction Field Effect Transistor Model

The Spectre jfet model is translated to the ADS JFET_Model. For translation information on the JFET device, refer to JFET 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 jmod jfet beta=9e-5 lambda=0 type=n vt0=-18.7 rd=10 rs=10 cgs=1.3e-13 pb=0.65

Spectre Netlist Syntax:
model mname jfet type=[n|p] [param=value]*

ADS Netlist Syntax:
model mname JFET NFET=[0|1] PFET=[0|1] [param=value]*

ADS Schematic Symbol:

Model Parameters:

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