Compact Model Council

Compact Model Council

The Compact Model Council[1] is a working group in the Electronic Design Automation industry formed to choose, maintain and promote the use of standard models[2]. Commercial and industrial analog simulators (such as SPICE) need to add device models as technology advances (see Moore's law) and earlier models become inaccurate. Before this group was formed, new transistor models were largely proprietary, which severely limited the choice of simulators that could be used.

New models are submitted to the Council, where their technical merits are discussed, and then potential standard models are voted on. See the article SIMULATION: PSP transistor tapped for standard[3] for an example of this process.

Some of the models supported by the Compact Modeling Council include:
