A problem of spectre simulation

heli
when i use  spectre simulate a circuit, the spectre.out file report errors(shown as below); in model file, I have already assigned a value to nmos_1p8_noia, why spectre still report error? Is that mean the version of my spectre is too old?

  • Hi Andrew, the version of my spectre is 5.10.41_USR3.102405, my circuits is shown as below, it's a very simple circuit:
