Having a problem with simulating a comparator

maxwellc

 Hello all,

 I've followed the standard steps in creating a part to use for simulation from a manufacturer-provided SPICE file. However, I am running into errors that state "Extra text on line" and "Invalid number", although I have changed nothing from the provided SPICE file. Can someone take a look and see where the problem may be? I've attached the SPICE file for reference (please note that I changed the file type from .txt to .lib before using Model Editor).

Note from Moderator - the attachment violated copyrighted material, so has been removed. Instead you can download it from here.

    Almost certainly due to having a circuit node(s) named +5V, + is a reserved character in SPICE, and therefore PSpice, for "add" or "continuation", name your node VCC, or similar, and assign a 5V source to it. See page 82 of the pspug.pdf in the doc\pspug directory of the installation for assigning of Net Alias.
