Advanced_Curtice2_Model:Advanced Curtice-Quadratic GaAsFET

The PSpice Level 1 GASFET and HSpice Level 3, SAT 0 JFET or MESFET models are translated to the ADS Advanced_Curtice2_Model. For translation information on the GaAsFET device, refer to Gxxxxxxx.

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 SPICE Command Line: 
PSpice: .model GNOM GASFET Level=1 [param=value]
HSpice: .model Jmodel NJF level=3 sat=0 [param=value]
SPICE Dialect and Netlist Syntax:

PSpice:

.model mname GASFET LEVEL=1 [param=value]*

HSpice:

.model mname NJF | PJF LEVEL=3 SAT=0 [param=value]*

ADS Netlist Syntax:

model mname Advanced_Curtice2_Model 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.
