Error "Unsupported tolerance specification" while referencing a pspice level 2 transistor model

Jonas Buehler
Jonas Buehler over 2 years ago

Hi all,

I am trying to create a simulation with Spectre 20.1.0.534 which contains a PSPICE model of a discrete transistor. This transistor model (level=2) contains tolerance parameters like lot/4/uniform=. When I try to reference this model with pspice_include, the error "Unsupported tolerance specification" is raised. Is there any workaround to get models with such tolerance parameters running?

Thank you in advance!

Regards,

Jonas

    Jonas,

    Can you point me at a public location with the model in question for the discrete device? Or share just a small portion of the mode with the lot/4/uniform= statement (I'm not familiar with that syntax). Normal statements like this:

    .MODEL RTRACK RES (R=1 DEV/GAUSS 1% LOT/UNIFORM 5%)

    just generate a warning (I'm assuming you're including the model using pspice_include ?)
