HSPICE Netlist 轉換成 Spectre .scs格式
首先要確認有安裝Cadence IC5.x 軟體
軟體內有spp ，我們是使用spp來做轉檔的
舉例來說:
把一個Inverter Netlist 轉換成 Spectre .scs格式
所以原本的HSPICe netlist 如下
.SUBCKT INV A Y
M0 Y A GND GND n_3p3 l=0.28u w=1.2u
M1 Y A VDD VDD p_3p3 l=0.28u w=1.73u
.ENDS INV
使用轉換指令
spp -convert
檢查一下INV.scs
// .SUBCKT INV A Y
simulator lang=spectre insensitive=yes
global 0 gnd
m0 ( y a gnd gnd ) n_3p3 l=0.28u w=1.2u
m1 ( y a vdd vdd ) p_3p3 l=0.28u w=1.73u
ends inv
如果使用的是新版的MMsim7.2以後的版本，其實就不需要轉netlist了
新版 mmsim已經有支援 HSPICE
模擬指令如下
spectre +hspice INV.sp
最後來看看spp 的指令語法如下

spp -h //--INFORMATION--// SPICE Reader : MDL @version 1.2.2 01/31/2003 //--INFORMATION--// SPICE Reader : Usage: spp [options] [ < [inputfile]] [ > [outputfile] ] "input file" is mandatory. "output file" is optional. Default is "stdout" Options: -h Prints this help message -v Prints the version number of the SPP program and exits. -w Outputs the build info of the SPP program and exits. -file [filename] Sets the top-level netlist filename The %C macro will be expanded to this name -lib [LibName] Causes the translation of the appropriate library part identified by [LibName]. [ Requires simultaneous use of -section. ] [ Expects a library file as stdin. ] -section [SectionName] Causes the translation of the appropriate library section identified by [SectionName]. [ Expects a library file as stdin. ] -log [logfile] Redirects error/warning/info messages from stderr to [logfile] -convert Converts a netlist or library to Spectre format. Include and library statements will be translated but not processed. The output will lack CPP comments. [ Requires simultaneous use of -file if SPP must identify files with an scs extension. ] -q4term SPP will treat all bjt devices as four terminal devices. -m5term SPP will treat all mosfet devices as five terminal devices. -m6term SPP will treat all mosfet devices as six terminal devices. -m7term SPP will treat all mosfet devices as seven terminal devices. -warning [value] Causes the Spp to display only the [value] number of warning statements. Without [value], Spp will turn off all the warning statements. +%<x> [expression value] Enables replacement of the literal expression %x with the expression value wherever %x is found in the input stream. -hspcompatible Pass the level information along with the model translation. -%<x> Replaces the literal expression %x with null wherever %x is found in a quoted string of the input stream |
