Finding "Spectre Circuit Simulator Device Model Equations" using command

 Dear All,

I was able to find spectre model parameters using the command for example (spectre -h BSIM4).

Is there any command to find  "Spectre Circuit Simulator Device Model Equations" which use the above paramters

Kind Regards

    Hi RFQuery,

     

    Please refer to the Virtuoso Simulator Components and Device Models Reference for this -

    http://support.cadence.com/wps/mypoc/cos?uri=deeplinkmin:DocumentViewer;src=pubs;q=spectremod/spectremod11.1/spectremodTOC.html

    There is no command line help for this.

     

    With Regards,

    Ashish

    Or you could run "cdnshelp" from the command line (easiest if you pick up the cdnshelp in the MMSIM installation) and then you don't even need internet access.

    As I mentioned earlier in the thread, the documentation is also in the software installation. Either run `cds_root spectre`/tools/bin/cdnshelp (those are backquotes - effectively cds_root is finding the installation for spectre) and look in there, or just run "cds_root spectre" to see where the installation is, and you'll find a doc directory, under which is spectremod/spectremod.pdf

    Or if using support.cadence.com you just need to go to Resources->Product Manuals->MMSIM (e.g. MMSIM15.1) and then you'll find the manual there. I thought it better to describe how to find it rather than just giving a link which will go away in a year or so when MMSIM15.1 is no longer supported.

    Teach a man to fish, and all that.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
