Advantage of SpectreMDL versus Hspice

Hi,

I'm circuit designer who have used both SpectreMDL extensively. Most of my group are still using Hspice which I'm comfortable with too. I like the post-processing capabilities of SpectreMDL whereas I have to write scripts to post-process my Hspice results. I was wondering anyone out there can let me know additional advantages of SpectreMDL compared to Hspice. I would like to come out with a summary and examples to convince my team to transition to use SpectreMDL. Are there any white paper or documentation for this comparison out there?

Thank you very much.

Warmest regards,
Boon

    Boon,

    A good source is the <MMSIMinstDir>/tools/spectre/examples/MDL_workshop

    Hi Andrew,

    Thank you very much for your reply. I already took a look. It’s really helpful. I’ll use some of the examples in there in my simulations to make my arguments for using MDL.

    Warmest regards,

    Boon
