2N7000 Spice Model
Last time I tested several 2N7000 Spice models (2005), there was huge
variance between them, and some down-right non-physical behavior. Has anyone found a better 2N7000 model since then? ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson | mens | | Analog Innovations | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | San Tan Valley, AZ 85142 Skype: skypeanalog | | | Voice480)460-2350 Fax: Available upon request | Brass Rat | | E-mail Icon at http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | I love to cook with wine.
