Pspice model errors in Virtuoso

Politekniko

 Hi Guys

I am trying to simulate MAX9643U and EL7202 (using their Pspice models) as a part of my design, in Virtuoso. While I have reviewed many similar problems and solutions in this informative website, I still can not overcome the errors.

1) MAX9643U
(the model is available here:
www.maximintegrated.com/.../MAX9643U.LIB)

The problem points to the line:

Fi+ RS+ GND VALUE={-I(Vi+)+20.02u}

I read in one of the posts that I have replace {} by ''. but the error still exists and says:
"Expected 1 controlling voltage sources, but found 0"

2) EL7202
(the model is available here:
www.intersil.com/.../el7202.txt)

The problem (I guess) is related to the lines below:

.model spmod vswitch ron=3 roff=2meg von=1 voff=1.5
.model snmod vswitch ron=4 roff=2meg von=3 voff=2
e1 out vss table {(v(inp)-v(inm))*5000} = (0,0) (3.2,3.2)

and  the error says:
"Error (CMI-2078): I1016.sn: Required parameter 'file' is missing"
"Error (CMI-2078): I1016.sp: Required parameter 'file' is missing"

 

Any comment is highly appreciated, in advance

  • Yes, but in the same post that you reference, I also said "I tried both those examples usign the new pspice_include statement that's in MMSIM13.1".

    However, upon checking, this has also been backported to MMSIM12.1 ISRs from around the same time as MMSIM13.1. MMSIM131 was released in October 2013 (so I wouldn't call that "really new"), but it's also in MMSIM121 ISR13 onwards:

    UNIX> spectre -W
    sub-version  12.1.1.115.isr13

    That's not the MMSIM12.1.1 update release - but a hotfix based on the 12.1.1 update release. This build is dated 27th August 2013.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
