This paper discusses extensions to Verilog-A that address compact modeling needs. It reviews compact modeling and analog circuit simulation, and then presents a simple Verilog-A compact model for a capacitor. Based on this example, extensions are presented that make Verilog-A better suited to compact modeling. A tentative implementation of each extension is proposed and described. The paper concludes with a summaly of the extensions, implemented in a revised capacitor model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
