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?

  • The netlist didn't help very much, because it doesn't even mention the parameter it is complaining about (presumably that's in the model files, which you must not post here because they're from Chartered and you would not be allowed to post them without breaking an NDA). However, you are using a version of spectre from 7 years ago, and in fact it's a update of a release which was released 8 years ago. I would be surprised if the models are intended to be used with such an old version (I can see very little reason to use it either). So, I would suggest installing an up to date MMSIM release (put <MMSIMinstDir>/tools/bin in your UNIX path before the <ICinstDir>/tools/bin so that it picks up the MMSIM version of spectre rather than the IC version, and try again.

    If that doesn't help, contact customer support or go via your University Programme (e.g. Europractice) if you are a University user.

    Regards,
