Metelics provides Spice models that may be used and distributed freely, provided they are not changed in any way, resold or in-
cluded in any other package for resale. These models are furnished on an "as is" basis without warranty of any kind. Metelics re-
serves the right to make changes to any model without notice. Although the use of models can be a useful tool in evaluating de-
vices for applications, they do not exactly model all device characteristics under all conditions.
