cadence ads

Hello guys,


I get a question of the device model used in ADS. Usually in the RF class project using Cadence, we have TSMC 0.35um tech file, or 0.18um whatever, but some of the analysis conducted in ADS is superior to cadence, so I wonder that is there any possible way to include the TSMC0.35um.m file into ADS? or I have to build BSIM3 or BSIM4 model by myself in ADS followed by the .m file in cadence.

Sometimes that takes time because BSIM4 model has lots of parameters you have to type in, so can anyone tell me how to do?

Many thanks

In main window of ADS push File=> Import => Netlist File (In more options choose approriate Input Netlist Dialect) => find source file (models file) = done
 

how to simulate using rfde

If you able to use RFDE in Cadence AE, it will be easier and faster to simulate your circuits because RFDE will automatically recognize spectre models files so you'll no need to transform the netlist.
Just change your simulator and simulate...that's it..
 

.35um bsim model

Thanks guys!!


Really appreciate your help, I guess I won't be able to use the RFDE in our lab computer, I didn't find it. And I followed what Alex told, generated a token in ADS as "NetlistInclude" as I attached following, I wonder how to use that? Lilke we usually include the BSIM3/4 model first and then pick a MOS to the schematic, but how can i do with the "NetlistInclude"?


Thanks so much, I get too many wonder of using that.

Best
 

tsmc25 cadence

Sorry guys, forgot to mention that I imported the TSMC25.m into ADS. Can I do that with XXX.scs too?

You might want to try asking on the Agilent Knowledge Centre forum...

Of course, you need to create an account with them and confirm you have a license to use the tools.

I just found this on their forum, maybe it can help you:

You can use spectre models in RFDE using the Analog Design Environment (ADE):
Setup>Model Libraries…>Browse to the spectre model files and add to the Model Library Setup. In 2008, U1, U2 (latest version of RFDE) you do not need to do anything else to get the spectre compatibility, the netlister and the simulator are already configure to read in spectre models.

To learn how to setup the ADE in RFDE, you select the Help menu in the ADE top right and choose: RF Design documentation. The CIW window will say: RFDE<MP>: RF Design Environment (*) 332.400 Sep 18 2008. And the RFDE 2008 U2 documentation will appear showing you numerous RFDE documentation references. Select Quick Start > Use Model of RF Design Environment. You can get this same doc from this link:
