Convert hspice function in Virtuoso

Trung Nguyen

Hi all,

Currently, I have a hspice netlist and it contains some expressions in hspice syntax.

Example for a parameter:

ad='w<259.9e-9?(floor(500e-3)*(91e-15+w*120e-9)+(500e-3-floor(500e-3)!=0?91e-15+w*60e-9:0))/1:(floor(500e-3)*(460e-9*w)+(500e-3-floor(500e-3)!=0?405e-9*w:0))/1'

Is there any way so that Virtuoso can execute kind of this parameters?

Thanks and best regards,

    There is no tool called "Cadence". Which tool are you talking about? Then I can direct this to the right forum (and maybe answer it too).

    Regards,

    Andrew

    OK, I've moved this into the Custom IC Design forum. Note that posting technical questions in the Feedback, Questions and Suggestions doesn't make any sense because that's for Q&A about the forum system not tools. Anyway, luckily I saw it and moved to the right place.

    Now, Virtuoso is not something that would need to understand this. Are you trying to simulate it with spectre? If so, spectre can handle that perfectly OK. 

    If that's not it, what are you hoping to do with this netlist?

    Regards,

    Andrew.
