How to transfer spice model to spectre model

archive
archive over 15 years ago

I got following spice model for external MOSFET from the vandor, how can I import this into spectre to get the right simulation results.

I added "simulator lang=spice" line at the top, but it doesn't give me the right result.

MODEL REMOVED BY MODERATOR BECAUSE VENDOR MODEL REQUEST PAGE MAKES IT CLEAR THAT THE MODEL MAY NOT BE DISTRIBUTED.

    We probably need more information to give a good answer...

    Did you get any error messages from spectre? 

    How do you know the result isn't correct?

     

    One thing... Did you encase your model file in:

     

    simulator lang=spice

     <spice model file goes in here>

    simulator lang=spectre

     

    And include the model via a spectre include file.

     include "./<path_to>/FDD5612.scs"

     

    As an aside, if you want to include a spice subcircuit into a schematic, see How to Simulate a Subcircuit (Netlist) With Spectre in ADE
