spp -convert (spice to spectre convert procedure)
Mar 04th, 2010, 9:09am
 
Hi, folks!
I use spp procedure
spp -convert <modn.m> modn.scs

original spice string (input file, line 14)
.model NE bsim3v3 version=\3.1 type=\n   capmod=2.000e+00 &
....
....
output file contains
model ne bsim3v3 type=n
+ version=\3.1   type=\n  capmod=2.000e+00
.....
           
output file is generated, but what this warning means

//--WARNING--// SPICE Reader : "Netlist", Line 14 : Unrecognized Model Primitive found; passed unaltered.
is bad or not? Undecided
ps  I dont running spectre yet with modn.scs
Thanks! Smiley

The model looks as if it may have been a cdsSpice syntax model (based on the filename, and the backslashes, and the &).

spp is obsolete, and is not necessary for standard SPICE models, which can be read directly by spectre.

However, there's a separate utility to convert spectreS models to spectre. In the icfb CIW, you can do Tools->Conversion Tool Box, and then there is "Spectre Models from SpectreS". This corresponds to the utility "modelTrans" in <ICinstDir>/tools/dfII/bin - which you give a directory full of spectreS .m models, and specify the ".scs" file you want it to create from these.

Regards,

Andrew.
