Hello,

 I'm quite new working with cadence tools, so my apologies in advance if some misunderstood.

My attempt to run a behavioral MOSFET model using PSP and BSIM3 verilog-a codes (available in their respective websites) is facing some errors:

1) When trying to run the PSP model, I do compile the verilog-a code successfully, but when I run virtuoso the following error occurs:

Error found by spectre during AHDL read-in.

    ERROR (VACOMP-2065): "/home/ronaldomponte/Desktop/ISFET_MODEL_VERILOG-AMS/isfet/psp/veriloga/PSP103_module.include", near line 2940: Encountered ddx operator in a conditional (if-else) statement. ddx operator cannot appear in a conditional (if-else) statement. Correct the problem and try again.

    ERROR (VACOMP-1816): Exiting AHDL compilation.

    ERROR (SFE-91): Error when elaborating the instance PSP103VA. Simulation should be terminated. 

 It seams to me that the compiler does not support the "ddx" operator in conditional statements and I don't know how to solve this.

 2) The BSIM3 verilog-A code fails to compile due to the following errors:

 Error found by spectre during AHDL compile.

    ERROR (VACOMP-1788):

        "/home/ronaldomponte/Desktop/ISFET_MODEL_VERILOG-AMS/isfet/bsim3/veriloga/compact.vams",

        line 62: Encountered an unrecognized compiler directive. Check the

        validity of the compiler directive.

    ERROR (VACOMP-2212): "BSIM3npeak<<--? );

"

        "/home/ronaldomponte/Desktop/ISFET_MODEL_VERILOG-AMS/isfet/bsim3/veriloga/veriloga.va",

        line 1809: Encountered undeclared identifier: . Declare the identifier

        before using it.

    ERROR (VACOMP-2259):

        "/home/ronaldomponte/Desktop/ISFET_MODEL_VERILOG-AMS/isfet/bsim3/veriloga/veriloga.va",

        line 1809: syntax error.

The first error happens in the following statement:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

/* Print out value:

   example: `DEBUG_STROBE("myVariable", myVariable); */

`define DEBUG_STROBE(xName, x) \

`ifdef DEBUG \

    $strobe("\n%s = %g", xName, 1.0*x) \

`else \

    ; \

`endif

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

            T0 = BSIM3gamma1 * BSIM3cox;

            BSIM3npeak = 3.021E22 * T0 * T0;

            $strobe("\nWARNING: npeak not given, gamma1 given: npeak=%g", \

                     BSIM3npeak);

        end  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Again, it seems the compiler does not support some directives and/or operators.

I am using the MMSIM12.1 that might be the latest version available.

I really appreciate if anyone could give me an insight about what is the problem. 

The PSP code is available in pspmodel.asu.edu/.../psp103.1.1.tar.gz, while the BSIM3 is attached.
