I have a model for an external diode. The model has been provide by a vendor in spice format. The diode is in my top level verification test. How do I import this model and link it to the diode symbol in my test bench.
Thanks

This post should help
http://www.designers-guide.org/Forum/YaBB.pl?num=1118940189/1#1
. Note that it applies even if the file just contains a model definition rather than a subckt definition.
Regards,
Andrew.

Hi Andrew,
Thanks that helped out a lot. One problem I am still having is the model is actually in P-spice format. Spectre seems to be having problems reading that format. Is there a document on converting from Pspice to spectre?
Thanks
Dave

Don't think so, sorry. Normally it's only an issue if it's using PSPICE "behavioral" constructs - normal devices are normally OK.

Is it complaining about the syntax (.model) or a parameter? Spectre might be thinking the file is in Spectre format.

If at first you do succeed, STOP, raise your standards, and stop wasting your time.
