A unified SCR model for continuous topology CADA
Abstract
The J3 SCR model, a nonlinear circuit analog to the SCR with a user-friendly analytical parameter estimation procedure requiring only manufacturer's specification sheet data, has been developed. The J3 model is based on the Nienhus model, built around the intrinsic three-junction SCR structure and developed for SCEPTRE, and Hu's model, using the two-transistor SCR analog and developed for SPICE2. It is noted that the small element count makes CADA of circuits containing several SCRs more feasible, and that the J3 model is applicable to both SPICE2 and SCEPTRE.
