Title: Spectre Error
Post by bki on Oct 20^th, 2014, 7:38am

Hi,

when i try to simulate a real transistor model (PHC2300N) in Cadence/Spectre i get the following error:
" WARNING: .LIB section `typ`not terminated in this file.
ERROR: illegal node name: [V"

I dont understand what the problem is.
I just added the NXP model:

simulator lang=spectre

library phc2300nnmos
section typ

simulator lang=spice

WARNING: .LIB section `typ`not terminated in this file.

You have "section typ" so you need "endsection typ" at the bottom of the file (probably also need "simulator lang=spectre" just before it).

Regarding ERROR: illegal node name: [V
I would try commenting out these two elements:

G11 3 2 VALUE { V(13, 0)*I(V11) }

E12 13 0 TABLE {V(12)}
+ ..

and see if one of them is the culprit.
