I want to convert a Spice Netlist to a Spectre Netlist by using spp command. I have typed this line :
spp -convert <ths4131_netlist.sp> ths4131_netlist.scs
I got a great number of errors, but all are similar.
Example of error:
". -- FATAL ERROR--// SPICE READER : "Netlist", Line 91 : Syntax error caused by "
I don't konw what's the problem exactly. Could you help me please?
I think this is not working, because the size of ths4131_netlist is 0 bytes and I got the calssical message:
//--INFORMATION--// SPICE Reader : MDL @version 1.1.2 01/31/2003
//--INFORMATION--// SPICE Reader :
Usage:
spp [Options] [ < [inputfile]] [ > [outputfile] ]
"input file" is mandatory
"output file" is optionnal. Default is "studout"
Options:
- h Prints this help message
-v Prints the version number of the SPP program
-w .."
In fact, I have tried to contact Technical Support of Cadence and they have said me that :"spp tool is not supported anymore because of all MMSIM SFE tools support spice syntax"
I don't know if there is a relation between MMSIM and spp command? What's MMSIM ? how this tool could support spice syntax? I use Cadence IC 5033. I don't know if this tool is uspported by this version...
Thanks for help
