Would you simulate your design with spectre, OrCAD, or LTSpice?
I don't know the commercial models for OrCAD or LTSpice. I guess it is SPICE-like models. If you simulate with Spectre, probably it can read and interpret those models, for that Spectre can read SPICE2, SPICE3, PSPICE, HSPICE netlist and models directly now. I remember the simulator in OrCAD is PSPICE.

Hi ywguo
Thanks for answering! Yes the commercial models are SPICE-like and simulator in OrCAD is PSPICE. But I think I wasnt clear, maybe its a language issue, since english is not my native language. The fact is I designed a chip with Cadence Virtuoso and I will use this device to design another product. In this product there'll be a lot of commercial devices. If I could use a simulator like OrCAD or LTSpice it would be ok since I can get the commercial models on the web and simulate them. So I have two choices:
1 - To export MY device to an environment like OrCAD or LTSpice*
2 - To export the commercial models to the Virtuoso environment (Spectre)
* my prefered since I can easily use the models of the Linear Technology devices
I think the first one is the best choice. But I cant find any help to do this.
Hope you got the point.
Thanks!
