Error SFE-23 (undefined model or subcircuit modp and modn) and Error (SFE-874)

DomPaw

Dear Cadence Community

I've got some serious problems which i need to solve as soon as possible. I'm a new Cadence user, i've tried to launch ADE and unfortunately i can't make any simulations because of those problems below.  

Error found by spectre in `uklad', during circuit read-in.
ERROR (SFE-23): "input.scs" 13: The instance `MP10' is referencing an undefined model or subcircuit, `modp'. Either include the file containing the definition of `modp', or define `modp' before running the simulation.
ERROR (SFE-23): "input.scs" 29: The instance `MN11' is referencing an undefined model or subcircuit, `modn'. Either include the file containing the definition of `modn', or define `modn' before running the simulation.
ERROR (SFE-23): "input.scs" 48: The instance `R0' is referencing an undefined model or subcircuit, `rpoly1'. Either include the file containing the definition of `rpoly1', or define `rpoly1' before running the simulation.

When I tried to fix this problem this way   Setup-->Model Library-->(added cds.lib) i've got another problem:

ERROR (SFE-874):  14: Unexpected string value "#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------".
ERROR (SFE-874): " 32: Unexpected end of line.

(Deleted my path, just showing errors)

I tried another way, adding file input.scs in the model library then the fatal error came out :

FATAL (SFE-879): Recursive file include or library call: `/.../spectre/schematic/netlist/input.scs'.

Can anyone help me with this issue please?

  • Hi Dominik,

    I think (I haven't used an AMS hit kit for a few years) that you have to include <hitkitroot>/spectre/h35/cmos35.scs (it might be h35, or s35, or c35), and you'd need to specify an appropriate section from the models. However, the section names you should use may depend on the technology, version and so on - and you probably also want other model files included.

    I strongly suggest you contact AMS to ask them if you don't have the documentation, since I would hate for you to be including the wrong files and getting incorrect simulation results.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
