ERROR (VACOMP-1070): Internal Compiling Error

USAAWA

Hello I am facing this compilation error after introducing some pspice vendor models, I am sharing the output log file and the netlist as well as the pspice code which is in a .cir file. 
apparently it works sometimes and successfully compiles but most times I have to face this error
I create a pspice view in which I post the .cir code. Then I make a symbol, following that I create a spectre from the pspice file. 
I do run into another error which gets solved by including pspice in the switch view list
But this error frustratingly happens for most logic gates with a provided .cir file which is pspice.

First my log file:

The behavioral model is actually at this website so I did not post as it could have made the thread really big:
https://www.ti.com/product/SN74AHCT1G14

it is in the design tools and simulation



  • I downloaded the PSPICE model from the link you gave, and then took your netlist - commented out the CMOS10LPE model include, and the tlv3604.olb pspice_include (since I didn't have those) and then had issues as follows:

    Error found by spectre during AHDL read-in.
    ERROR (VACOMP-1558): "SN74AHCT1G14.cir", line 140: Encountered one or more
    non-integer operands for bitwise operators. Specify integer operands
    only.

    It was complaining about a line with ^2 and I think it was confusing this as a bitwise operator (I think this is a bug). Anyway, I changed the four occurrences of ^2 to **2 and then I got:

    ERROR (SFE-1996): "SN74AHCT1G14.cir" 118: Cannot run the simulation because
    the expression of the parameter `MAXICC': Circular dependency in
    parameter `maxICC'.
    , correct the expression and rerun the simulation.

    That's because there's a line:

    .PARAM MAXICC = maxICC

    and the file is being read case-insensitive (so that's a circular reference). I changed this to MAXICC=1 (I don't know whether that makes sense), and then it compiles and runs OK.

    I would check with either TI or Cadence support (log in at http://support.cadence.com and then use the Case menu to submit a support case).

    Thanks a load it works great now, I appreciate you Andrew
