PSpice model Editor in Spectre and Virtuoso

mjab

Hi All, 

Is there a PSpice model editor is available in the Spectre or Virtuoso to create a model library?

Thanks

  • No. That would be rather odd, since PSPICE is normally used for board design. There is support for using PSPICE models within Spectre (there's a pspice viewType in Virtuoso, and ADE has the ability to include pspice model files) but this is normally used for interfacing from a custom IC design (e.g. an analog IC design) to an external component on the board; you wouldn't normally author those PSPICE models within Virtuoso. 

    If you're asking about creating behavioural models for blocks in an IC, that would normally be done with Verilog-A or Verilog-AMS (or SystemVerilog or VHDL if it was a high enough level model).

    Regards,

    Andrew
