Hi all,
I have downloaded a model file for tsmc018 and I’ve created two capture parts, one for the NMOS and one for the PMOS. I’ve designed two very simple circuits to test if they work. Although, the NMOS works, PMOS does not. More particularly, the result of the simulation is :
**** INCLUDING 12-SCHEMATIC1.net ****
* source 12
V_V1 N00029 0 DC 0
M_Q4 0 N00029 0 CMOSP
----------------------------------------$
ERROR -- Missing model

**** RESUMING 12-SCHEMATIC1-2.sim.cir ****
.END




I provide the definition of the model :

Any ideas for why it does not work?

Thank you in advance,

Thats because You have not defined transistor well.

MNAME Draing_Node Gate_Node Source_Node Bulk_Node MOS_MODEL
You have defined it as:
M_Q4 0 N00029 0 CMOSP <- so Bulk of MOS is connected to CMOSP node.

First of all, Many thanks!!! But how can I correct the mistake? I have to change the definition of the PMOS? I ve downloaded the library from an official site and I did not make any changes.
I ve tried something different and it seems to be working. I ve taken the MBreakP3 from the breakout library and I changed its model to the one I desired. Then, it worked. But I have not tested properly yet. Although, the simulation runs. I think maybe you mean the same.
Thanks,

Well. You are using pspice schematic i guess ?
Believe me - pspice a/d will be better.

1. Create new txt file and rename it with YourName.cir
2. Open it in Pspice A/D and then click new file.
First line of CIR file is ALWAYS a project name.
Name it as you wish i.e. My Very First Pspice CIR

Then you have to define what you want to measeure/sumulate.
So my CIR would like go like this.


----------------------------------------------------------------
MY Project Name
.lib name.lib ; <- in file name.lib keep the MOS models.

Vdd Vdd 0 3.3V
Vgs Vgs 0 3.3V

M1 Vdd Vgs 0 0 CMOSN W=3u L=2u

.dc Vgs 0 3.3V 10mv ; It is dc analysis
.probe
.end
----------------------------------------------------------------
