A drift-diffusion model of miniband transport in strongly coupled superlattices is derived from the single-miniband Boltzmann-Poisson transport equation with a BGK (Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook) collision term. We use a consistent Chapman-Enskog method to analyze the hyperbolic limit, at which collision and electric field terms dominate the other terms in the Boltzmann equation. The reduced equation is of the drift-diffusion type, but it includes additional terms, and diffusion and drift do not obey the Einstein relation except in the limit of high temperatures.
