.MODEL statement and ModelName

 

The Models given as MODEL statement are for SPICE devices like diodes, bipolars and mosfet transistor.

The MODEL statement give the parameters for a specific component. The behavior of the devices are defined by equation already embed in the HYPERSPICE simulator, only the parameters need to be given by foundries to finish specifying the component's electrical characteristics.

SPICE is originally a text-only interface. A model is referred as the name given in the MODEL statement.

Part of the spice netlist can be written like :
