I want to simulate a simple L-C circuit in HSpice but i want to use spiral inductor with TSMC0.18um cmos technology , now please tell me how i can present this inductor in HSpice? how i write the netlist??

I don't request such answer.rezaee said:@pancho_hideboo:I used HB simulator engine
Typical Design Frameworks are Cadence DFII, Mentor Falcon(IC Station) and Agilent ADS.rezaee said:what is your means from framework?
If you have model files of HSPICE syntax, it is possible.rezaee said:Now my question is how its possible for me?
So you must have an ADS model and/or netlist of your spiral inductors. If you'd post it here, perhaps somebody could help you to convert it into its HSpice counterpartrezaee said:... I have designed and simulation a PA circuit in agilent ADS with the elements of TSMC0.18um ... and spiral inductors now i want to simulate this circuit with same technology in HSpice.
Below pls. find a Spectre model for a spiral inductor from an older RF process. Don't know if it can be of help for you.rezaee said:... i want model for ... spiral inductor
Try by yourself.rezaee said:@pancho_hideboo: i dont know syntax of netlist of ADS, HSPICE , If i post the ADS designkit to you Is it possible for you to convert it to HSPICE syntax for me?
See "tsmc_rfcmos018_v5a/circuit/models/rf018.net".rezaee said:you can see the designkit here: TSMC0.18um version 5
