How to crrect this error.
 

Hspice code error

I am not sure of the Hspice syntax, but I think you have an odd number of data pairs. I think after "POLY" the next two values are the input nodes, then it is data pairs.

Re: Hspice code error

if i am using even no. of data points, error is still comming....
 

Hspice code error

Are you actually using Hspice or Pspice? The syntax of the G Poly source various from one Spice variant to another.

In My simulator (SIMetrix) the following works:

G12 1 2 poly(1) 1 0 0 1.4783676e-009 -3.9434654e-009 3.6185472e-009 -1.1063002e-009

The poly(1) defines how many input connections there are.

Re: Hspice code error

i am using Hspice(synopsys) this time.....
 

Hspice code error

Looking at the Hspice manual, you need the poly(1) definition as I mentioned above. From the Hspice manual:

Polynomial dimension. If POLY(ndim) is not specified, a
one-dimensional polynomial is assumed. Ndim must be a
positive number.

Ignore my comments earlier about data pairs - I was mixing up POLY & PWL!

Keith.
