Model parameters

Generated from the attributes of models/acm2.va and models/acm3.va. Model parameters go on the .model line; instance parameters go on the device line (an instance parameter written on the .model line acts as the default for every device).

Notes (both models): the specific current of one device is I_S = ish*w/l; the charge length is lc = l - dlc (dlc < l); the gate resistance rg is per device and divided by m; rg = 0 removes the internal gate node. ACM3: vddmax is the technology supply voltage that normalises the transition of sigma from sigma_wi (weak inversion) to sigma_si (strong inversion); the IHP SG13G2 cards use vddmax = 1.4 V.
