Dear jayce 3390,

I tried your file in ADS2008 and it works for that you can see toy schematic cicruit in attached file.

As you know, it gives the schematic but i do not konw if it will works perfectly because i encountred a problem with NE351402_Spice, when i converted it in schematic cicruit then i tried to used it unfortunately it seems not work and i did not understand why......

good luck

N

thank you nassim1, I think you got some Warnings during the translation, could you check eventually? because it seemed that the spice file contains switches and ADS is unable to understand.
