BJT Device

The Spectre BJT device is translated as one of the following:

Example Spectre Command Line:

q1 (vcc net3 minus) npn_mod region=fwd area=1 m=1

Spectre Netlist Syntax:

name nc nb ne [ ns ] ** mname ** [param= value ]*

ADS Netlist Syntax:

BJT[4]:
mname : qid nc nb ne [ ns ] [param= value ]*

VBIC:
mname : qid nc nb ne ns [param= value ]*

ADS Schematic Symbols:

Instance Parameters:

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

BJT Parameter Mapping
ADS Name Unit Default Spectre Name Unit Default
Area   1.0 area   1.0
Region   0 (off) region   fwd
NPN     (see type model parameter)    
PNP     (see type model parameter)    
_M   1 m   1
Parameters not in Spectre Model      
Temp °C 25      
Mode   on      
Noise   on      
      Parameters not in ADS Model
      trise °C 0.0
Temp = trise + temp ("temp" is an ADS global variable)
VBIC Parameter Mapping
ADS Name Unit Default Spectre Name Unit Default

Comments:

NPN keyword indicates BJT_NPN or BJT4_NPN
PNP keyword indicates BJT_PNP or BJT4_PNP
