JART VCM v1 generic

The JART VCM v1 generic model is a special variant of the more general JART VCM v1 model. It provides in total 16 data sets to study the influence of the nonlinearity SL of the switching kinetics and the resistance ratio r on different circuit designs [1]. Four different slopes and four different resistance ratios can be chosen. To simplify the comparison, the different slopes intersect at about 1 µs (cf. Figure 1). Thus, the same voltage amplitude and pulse length can be used in a circuit when changing the slope. When increasing the resistance ratio, however, the required switching voltages increases, which is consistent with experimental observations (Fig. 1c, d). To allow for this comparison, the JART VCM v1 model is slightly modified: the electronic transport is assumed to be temperature-independent. The Verilog-A code of this model can be downloaded here (Verilog-A file). The following small errors should be noted: Typos in Table 2 of the paper: Unit of A* should be A/(m2*K2) Nplug should be 25*1026 m-3 Typo in Figure 1 (b) on the x-axis: -1 V and -0.5 V are switched.
