schottky diode spectre model

Hi.

I have a downloaded a PSpice model file (in .lib) from On Semiconductor.

I am wondering how to run Spectre simulation in Cadence with this file. For the same diode, there are .sp2 and .sp3 models are available as well. Am I using the right one (.lib) for Spectre simulation?

I am using AMI06 tech with NCSU CDK package

The file content is below

* MODEL FORMAT: PSpice
.MODEL Dnsr0320mw2t1 d
+IS=1.88569e-06 RS=0.160685 N=1.03056 EG=0.634401
+XTI=0.5 BV=20 IBV=1.5e-05 CJO=1.20949e-10
+VJ=0.4 M=0.520353 FC=0.5 TT=0
+KF=0 AF=1

Thank you for your kind anwers
 

spectre diode model

In your netlist, add the "simulator lang=..." as follows:

simulator lang=spice

* MODEL FORMAT: PSpice
.MODEL Dnsr0320mw2t1 d
+IS=1.88569e-06 RS=0.160685 N=1.03056 EG=0.634401
+XTI=0.5 BV=20 IBV=1.5e-05 CJO=1.20949e-10

simulator lang=spectre
 

Re: spectre diode model

hi can u please explain from where to do it i am getting same problem as

florescent



In netlist, add the "simulator lang=..." as follows:

simulator lang=spice



simulator lang=spectre[/QUOTE]
 

you just need to surround the spice model:
Code: 
simulator lang=spice 
<your model or spice subcircuit goes here>
simulator lang=spectre
 

sir i am newbie :??? in cadence sir please tell me brief, how to do that ?:???:
 

you need to edit your netlist manually or you could edit your model file by adding those lines around the model definition.
