Title: How to add .lib to Cadence as like Hspice?
Post by newic on Aug 10^th, 2011, 11:35pm

how could cadence ADE to have .lib function as in the hspice? I know cadence can only include the file, but not choosing the variable in .lib (eg: term_ss in this case)

in hspice, users can make lib setting easily as below:

in the spice deck:
.lib 'my_setting.lib' term_ss

content in my_setting.txt
.lib term_ss
vvar var1 0 0
......
......
.endl

.lib term_ff
vvar var1 0 vcc
......
......
endl

the .lib is used for param setting instead of library setting. I know how to set library seting in ADE & Hspice.

I want to use .lib to choose param ( a group of setting usually)

Don't forget you have already define a group of parameter in library section. That is a part of a library.

Usually some parameters are defined in model file. So you can choose a group of parameter with library setup.
