The capability of a single CR sub-circuit to model a wide range of non-quasi-static (NQS) delays in silicon germanium heterojunction bipolar transistors is explored. A comparative study is carried out to show that the suitable use of a single CR sub-circuit following the partitioned-charge-based approach can replace the popularly used CR-LCR combination to model both the input and output NQS effects. Based on this NQS model, a correlated noise model is developed, which requires only three additional nodes for implementation in Verilog-A. Results show excellent agreement with numerically simulated data.
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.
