This article proposes a new form of compact electrothermal model impulse transformers. The proposed is dedicated for use with SPICE and it formulated in the network form. It simultaneously takes into account electrical, thermal, magnetic phenomena occurring considered device. Nonlinearity core magnetization characteristics nonlinearity heat transfer efficiency are taken this model. shown. Equat...

There is increasing demand for effective software process assessment and improvement in the medical device industry. This is due to the expanding and complex role that software now plays in the operation and functionality of medical devices. This paper outlines the development and current status of Medi SPICE a software process assessment and improvement model which is being developed to meet t...

Measuring interoperability implies establishing measures of merit to evaluate the degree of interoperability between systems. This is the purpose of so-called maturity models, describing the stages through which systems should evolve to reach higher completeness in the realization of a given objective. This paper reviews the main maturity models for interoperability, comparing the different asp...

Although memristive devices with threshold voltages are the norm rather than the exception in experimentally realizable systems, their SPICE programming is not yet common. Here, we show how to implement such systems in the SPICE environment. Specifically, we present SPICE models of a popular voltage-controlled memristive system specified by five different parameters for PSPICE and NGSPICE circu...

This paper proposes to study the performance of carbon nanotube bundle in terms of delay as a VLSI interconnect at 32nm technology node. Output waveform and 90% propagation delay are analytically determined and compared with SPICE simulation result. Alpha power law model is used for representing the transistors of CMOS driver. SPICE simulation result reveals that delay increases with increase i...

A SPICE-compatible simulation methodology for analyzing open– and closed-loop high-frequency electronic ballasts for fluorescent lamp was developed. The proposed procedure applies envelope simulation and makes use of the SPICE-compatible model of a fluorescent lamp. Experimental results validate the reliability of proposed simulation method.

AbstructWe present a method for SPICE model parameter extraction for a bipolar transistor in the active and quasisaturation modes. It uses the capabilities of the BIPOLE3 [l] simulator to enhance the optimization procedure. Comparisons are made between the Gummel-Poon, the VBIC95, and the SGSThomson Microelectronics SPICE model results for IC (1 ). I R ( T A , ). 3(1( ). f r ( I c ) , and Ir(1i...

This paper will discuss the following questions: Is SPICE an AHDL and is it a viable alternative to currently proposed AHDL languages? Second, should AHDL constructs or SPICE syntax compatibility be the starting point for analog extensions to VHDL? THE Requirements Of An AHDL A variety of different AHDL vendors and publications have proposed numerous requirements for an AHDL. [7, 9, 10, 12, 14,...
