The Gummel–Poon model is a model of the bipolar junction transistor. It was first described in a paper published by H.K. Gummel and H.C. Poon at Bell Labs in 1970[1].

The Gummel–Poon model and modern variants of it are widely used via incorporation in the popular circuit simulators known as SPICE. When certain parameters are omitted, SPICE reverts to the simpler Ebers–Moll model.
