import external device model in to Cadence (Read 3906 times)

cashAZ New Member Offline Posts: 2	import external device model in to Cadence Feb 05^th, 2009, 2:48pm 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

Note that it applies even if the file just contains a model definition rather than a subckt definition. Regards, Andrew.

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

Normally it's only an issue if it's using PSPICE "behavioral" constructs - normal devices are normally OK. Andrew.
