HISIM-HV models

pejmank

Trying Simulation HISIM-HV 2.40; in virtuoso ADE-L environment, it does not seem to read the level =73 or 75 model number.  Two questions

1) what is the appropriate level number 

2) where do I get this information; have been digging through all document under Cadence support related to Hisim-HV and not mention level number

  • Spectre does not use a level number to specify the model type. You can find the model syntax and a sample model statement at support.cadence.com/.../techpubDocViewerPage

    Actually, spectre does support SPICE syntax model files that use common level numbers. From "spectre -h hisim_hv" you can see that level=73 is the level number. This netlist does run (it's a stupid example which doesn't do anything):

    //

    simulator lang=spice
    .model nch nmos level=73
    simulator lang=spectre

    VD (d 0) vsource dc=2
    VG (g 0) vsource dc=2
    M1 (d g 0 0) nch w=10u l=10u

    dc dc

    The log file tells you it's using hisim_hv.

    Frank is right though for spectre syntax models - these don't use level numbers - the model above would be as follows if defined in spectre syntax:

    model nch hisim_hv type=n

    ADE doesn't need to know anything about model level numbers - that's the simulator's problem...
