Using spice in cadence

archive
archive over 17 years ago

Hello All,

I'm trying to use a spice netlist directly in the ADE.
It works well using simple spice models like transistors, diodes...
But could someone help me on how I have to implement a schematic in order to use a spice subcircuit?


I have the following subcircuit writen in a scs file:

simulator lang=spice
.SUBCKT My_MOSFET 1 2 3
...
...
.ENDS

where nodes 1 = drain, 2 = gate, 3 = source.

How can I link the nodes 1, 2 and 3 to the terminals a cadence schematic/symbol?
Or do you have another mean to use a spice netlist? (the spice-spectre conversion spectrespp fails).

Thanks for your help.
Best regards,

Axel

    Hi Axel,

    Just create a symbol for it and then reference the subckt with a "model" CDF param.

    Please see the following Sourcelink Solution:
