How to use a Hspice model in spectre?

Enycin

Hi,

 I'm new to the Cadence Spectre, I want to know how can I use a Hspice nmos/pmos model in the Cadence Spectre tool. I have already convert the Hspice model file to .scs format, which can be used in Spectre simulator, but I don't know what should I do next. The purpose I do this is to see how a circuit react to tech node changes. 

 

Best wishes,

zy 

  • There's no need to convert the syntax really. All you should have to do is use the nmos4 or pmos4 components from analogLib, reference the model name as the "model" parameter, and then use Setup->Model Libraries to refer to your model file.

    Typically people would use a specific component for the technology/PDK in question rather than using the generic sample in analogLib, but that's a good start.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

  • Hi Andrew, Thank you for your quick reply, it helps me a lot! Best, zy
