Spice-style NPN transistor model without parasitic resistors and substrate diode

Information

The NPN element of the Spice analog electrical library implements a full-fledges Spice-stye Gummel-Poon model of the NPN bipolar transistor [1-3]. NPNint is a partial model that implements only the internal nodes of the bipolar transistor. The external parasitic resistances, the external capacitor between base and collector, and the substrate are being added from the outside.
