We present a device model for the electrically driven insulator-to-metal transition (E-IMT) that captures the essential physics in E-IMT and can be used for physical device simulations and mixed-mode simulations of circuits containing IMT elements. Aspects of the model include the temperature-dependent resistivity, Joule heating, heat transport, and the spatial and dynamic coupling of the above phenomenon. We show that the model captures the dc and transient characteristics as measured by experiments. The model points out the existence of two critical transition voltages (
