Spectre vs. HSpice models

[Puppet1]

spectre model

i have hspice models for CMOS.

can spectre read these in straight up or do they have to be modified.

i have read two conflicting things on this board:

either yes, they have to be modified

or no, they can be read in without modification.

can someone let me know

thanks

spectre hspice

you do have to make modifications. Some design kit provide models for both Spectre and Hspice.

hspice vs spectre

I think models for spectre and hspice are a little bit different.

hspice spectre

It is better to transfer your hspice model to spectre format before your simulation.
Spectre also provide a command to read the hspice format model directly. command line mode: spectre +spp or GUI: click "use spice netlist reader" It occur some errors when I used because spectre can not recognize some character.
:roll:

spectre vs hspice

You must modified the spice models to spectre model for spectre.
Or you simulate with Hspice

hspice models

I have transfer the hspice model to specter model,you can use command such as: spp -convert <sourcefile> targetfile

spectre and hspice

where do you run this command from ?

from within spectre ?

from UNIX ?

the analog artist command line ?

not familiar with where to run this spp command from.

thanks
