Gummel–Poon model
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gummel–Poon model is a model of the bipolar junction transistor. It was first described in a paper published by Hermann K. Gummel and H.C. Poon at Bell Labs in 1970[1].
The Gummel–Poon model and modern variants of it are widely used via incorporation in the popular circuit simulators known as SPICE. A significant effect included in the Gummel–Poon model is the DC current variation of the transistor βF and βR. When certain parameters are omitted, the Gummel–Poon model reverts to the simpler Ebers–Moll model.
