Information

The Spice-style JFET junction diode is a regular exponential diode. 

Parameters:

 Level:  JFET modeling level (default value = 1)
           Level=1: Shichman-Hodges (Si) JFET model
           Level=2: Improved Shichman-Hodges (Si) JFET model [1]
           Level=3: Statz-Curtice (GaAs) MESFET model [2,3]

 IS:     Transport saturation current (default value = 1e-14 Amp)

 EG:     Energy gap for temperature effect on saturation current at 0 K
           default value = 1.11 Volt for Levels=1,2 (Si)
           default value = 0.73 Volt for Level=3 (GaAs)

 N:      Current emission coefficient (default value = 1)

 XTI:    Saturation current temperature exponent
           default value = 3 for Levels=1,2 (Si)
           default value = 2 for Level=3 (GaAs)

 Area:   Relative area occupied by the diode (default value = 1)

 EMin:   if x < EMin, the exp(x) function is linearized (default value = -100)

 EMax:   if x > EMax, the exp(x) function is linearized (default value = 40)
