pnp :
An PNP-type bipolar junction transistor.

The pnp primitive represents a three-terminal PNP-type bipolar junction transistor. It implements an approximate Ebers-Moll transistor model described below:

    Ic = Is*(exp(-Vbe/(N*VT))-1) - (1+1/Br)*Is*(exp(-Vbc/(N*VT))-1)
    Ie = (1+1/Bf)*Is*(exp(-Vbe/(N*VT))-1) - Is*(exp(-Vbc/(N*VT))-1)
    Ib = Ie - Ic
    where VT = kT/q (25.695mV at 25C)

In the equations above, Is and VT change with the global parameter `global_temp, defining the temperature in Celsius (default: 25C). Specifically, the thermal voltage VT is proportional to the absolute temperature and the transport saturation current Is is proportional to exp(-VG0/VT), where VG0 is assumed to be 1.205V for silicon.

The parameters abstol and reltol set the error tolerance approximating these equations.

This primitive is a pseudo-module to describe a structural netlist of electrical circuits and not a behavioral model by itself. The XMODEL simulator extracts an event-driven behavioral model at run-time based on the circuit network described by these circuit-level pseudo-modules.
