Title: problems with the AMS Designer/Analog primitives
Post by MokoKoya on Jul 14^th, 2006, 1:52am

Hi everybody.

I have successfully run a simulation of a boost converter using the ADE. It contains a diode (from the analogLib)that I attach a model file to. And I include this model file in the model library setup.

However, when I try to run the same simulation using the AMS Designer from the ADE, I get elaboration errors due to the diodes. They are set up identically as before, I have the analogLib in my hierachy editors lib list, I also have the diode as a symbol view.

The error message says that the analog primitives "dio" and "gr" are not found in analog primitive tables.

Can any body help me with this error and explain why the ADE on its own runs, where as the AMS designer has problems??

Thank you,
Andy

Don't forget!

AMS Designer = Problems ... ;D

Actually I have found AMS Designer to be quite a good product once it is configured properly.

I know I'm biased, but AMS Designer is generally pretty easy to use - provided you have some knowledge how to handle the additional things needed for mixed-signal simulation.

Which version is being used here? It sounds as if the models are not being picked up, or you're using a very old version of the simulator (when you used to have to run genalgprim to build the analog primitive tables).

Regards,

Andre.
