i have hspice models for CMOS.
can spectre read these in straight up or do they have to be modified.
i have read two conflicting things on this board:
either yes, they have to be modified
or no, they can be read in without modification.
can someone let me know
thanks

| you do have to make modifications. Some design kit provide models for both Spectre and Hspice.

| I think models for spectre and hspice are a little bit different.

It is better to transfer your hspice model to spectre format before your simulation.
Spectre also provide a command to read the hspice format model directly. command line mode: spectre +spp or GUI: click "use spice netlist reader" It occur some errors when I used because spectre can not recognize some character.

You must modified the spice models to spectre model for spectre.
Or you simulate with Hspice

| I have transfer the hspice model to specter model,you can use command such as: spp -convert <sourcefile> targetfile

where do you run this command from ?
from within spectre ?
from UNIX ?
the analog artist command line ?
not familiar with where to run this spp command from.
