Help verifying BAV99 device spice model

Jun 07, 2005 0 Replies

I wanted to verify the spice model for a Philips Semiconductor high speed double diode (BAV99). It was the result of placing database part in OrCAD capture. The datasheet is

I wanted to verify that this was a match, but as I looked at the PSpice Reference Guide (pp 151), I could not determine if it was accurate due to additional unknown values that are a part of the diode formulas. The spice model provided is as follows. Thanks



..MODEL BAV99 D



  • IS = 2.7838E-09
  • N = 1.8703
  • RS = 1.3548
  • EG = 1.0637
  • XTI = 1.5000
  • CJO = 0.6000E-12
  • VJ = 0.2000
  • M = 0.1000

The PSpice Reference manual describes the following diode model parameters:
