Hello -
I'm working on a project we're trying to migrate all netlists into a cadence schematic, and use the favorite old GUI such as the Analog Design Environment (ADE).

In the mean time, I have IP blocks with spice netlists only.

Question:  inside a Cadence schematic, can I instantiate a symbol that references such a netlist, and run spectre (spice format)?
If so, exactly, how do I do this?

thanks!

There was a similar post a few days ago maybe this helps.

No it is not necessay, but it's probably the easiest way to do it.

You can use your own symbol as well, but you need in addition.

• A stop view for the simulator e.g. spectre,
  symbol view could be copied over to 'spectre' for that.
• The cell CDF has to be created or modified.
• A model file where you have you IP spice description an which is
  included in the simulators model path.
