cadence model transform to ads model

[NaPeng]

Does anyone know how to convert a model from Cadence into the ADS type ? or exporting cadence model to ADS? It's a CMOS model. thanks a lot

Does anyone know how to convert a model from Cadence into the ADS type ?

What do you mean by Cadence ?
Cadence is a name of Company.
So you never can convert ADS to Cadence.

If you mean Cadence Spectre, Keysight ADSsim can read Spectre's Format Netlist directly.

See #3 of https://www.edaboard.com/threads/346180/
Here ADSsim read mixed netlist of ADS format and Spectre Format.

Also see https://www.keysight.com/en/pd-2370...tuoso-element?nid=-34333.1082928&cc=US&lc=eng

I mean transfrom a model used in cadence such as TSMC 0.13 to a model which can be used in ADS ？Is that achievable？

We can not know model used in company Cadence.

Cadence is a name of company.
ADS is a name of design frame work.

Cadence， I mean software Cadence we used for IC design ，ADS （ keysight ） is a design tool for RFIC design . So Cadence and ADS are design tools here. The models are used for simulation in both tool are different ,So I was wondering maybe I could transform them

You can not understand Cadence and ADS at all.

See #2 surely.

See #2 surely.

The followings are general notes for you.

- There is no tool which name is Cadence.
- Always describe correct tool's name and vendor's name which you use as tool or simulator.
- There are many simulators which have analyses called as PSS, PAC and Pnoise.
- Describe in detail and correctly with using correct terminologies.
- Warnigns are different from Errors.
- Don't use Direct Plot of Cadence ADE blindly without knowing definition.
- Don't mix up Simulation with Post Processing. They are completely different phase.

oh..ok Thank you very much ,how about spectre simulation model transform to ADS schematic simulation model，is that right？

Keysight ADSsim can read Spectre Fomat Netlist.
So you don't have to convert anything except for analysis statement.

Keysight ADSsim can read Spectre Fomat Netlist.

Please use correct tool names. There is no "Keysight ADSsim".

where #2 is ?

He meant his post #2 above (ADS simulator can read Cadence Spectre netlists).
