Use Spice model in Cadence

Discussion in 'Cadence' started by david.freedman, Feb 26, 2007.

  1. Hello,

    I am trying to model an IC's output that I have designed that will be
    hooked up to a National Semiconductor's LMC6484 part. I am able to get
    a Spice macro-model from them (http://www.national.com/models/spice/LM/
    LMC6484A.MOD), but am unsure how to use it in Cadence.

    Although I would prefer to use Spectre, my toolkit does support
    Hspice. I have attempted to create a view and symbol for this part,
    with a view of hspiceD being used. I know I am doing this incorrectly
    since the symbol seems to have no knowledge of the hspiceD. Also I do
    not believe the hspiceD file should be named "/LMC6484A/hspiceD/
    text.txt". I can only assume that text.txt is generated because I used
    the text editor to make a new view.

    Any help is greatly appreciated,
    Dave

    That is not spice model, that is a spice subckt
    1. build a schmatic match the subckt
    2.translate the bjt, diode or mos models to spectre format
