Import HSpice Protected Netlist

Hello,

I'm trying to import HSpice netlist from ONsemi's Level Translators | FXL2TD245 ".inc " file. Using Spicein gui. But at the end of the netlist there is an encrypted section:

"
.prot FREELIB
Hb4/[GsWT3ijJY-IP_D!7=#$(9=h$-JW[[X!8Y#v9-X':x#2;[Xp[S[W6K>/L  ……"

that SpiceIn cannot interpret: 

" line 232: Error: *** Encrypted *** Cannot run the simulation because syntax error `Unexpected end of line' was encountered at line 233, column 1. Correct the syntax error and rerun the simulation."

If I remove this protected part, the importing runs well, but gets an error because is missing a cell, that refers most certainly to the encrypted part.

How can import this protected cell? 

Best Regards

Duarte

  • Duarte,

    You can't. Cadence tools cannot read files encrypted for HSPICE (a Synopsys simulator) in the same way that their tools can't read files encrypted for Spectre (a Cadence simulator).
