The FET model is a modular model with definable simulation levels. Different simulation
depths can be selected for the electrical and thermal behavior of the model.
At normal operation of the device the diodes D_DB and D_BS are blocking. They have default
parameters that cannot be changed by the user.
You can define two simulation levels for the electrical and three simulation levels for the thermal
behavior. Each level combination has a certain set of parameters. The values of them can
be defined in the model dialog. The component outputs are true of all types of the FET models.
They are listed at the end of the model description. See also “Thermal Semiconductor Model”
on page 126 and “Temperature, Voltage, and Current Dependencies” on page 125.
