I want to simulate this component which has a particularly low gate threshold so I want the model to be the right one.
This comes from Diodes Inc DMN5L06DWK.
MS seems to have problems with the .model DSUB CJO parameter and claims it results in a negative value.
I just deleted the CJO parameter and it works. I haven't been able to find a reference to help me understand this syntax.
Here is the model as provided and with the problem line commented and fixed to run.
Can anyone explain what the deal is with the DSUB model and the CJO parameter?
Thanks.

Are you getting a particular error, or are you seeing incorrect simulation results? I was able to run a simulation with this model and no errors, so I'm not sure what the problem is.
Could you attach your circuit or netlist, or maybe just a screenshot of the errors or incorrect results?
Thanks,

Yes you were able to simulate that listing because I already commented out the problem line. Restore that commented line and see the error you get trying to simulate. (comment out the 'fixed' line)
