JFET SPICE model Archives

In this article we’ ll see how to find the parameters used to describe the mathematical behaviour of JFET (Junction Field Effect Transistors).The syntax for the N-channel model is:

model ModelName NJF( par1=a par2=b………parn=x)

while for the P-channel model is:

model ModelName PJF( par1=a par2=b………parn=x)

Where par1 par2… parn are the parameters that allow us to model the equations of the JFET transistor.

The main parameters for modeling the JFET are listed below in this table:
