Outlines
• Why simulate spectre/HSPICE netlists in ADS
• Create ports only schematic & symbol
• Create test bench & Include netlists/modelcards
• Run simulation & View results
• Conclusion
Why simulate spectre/HSPICE netlists in ADS
• From other softwares (most are post layout extraction)
• From other sources (such as IO libraries)
• Use powerful tools (Co-sim, SI(EYE), DataDisplay …) in ADS
Create Ports only schematic & symbol
Cell Name should be the same
PIN order should be the same
Create testbench & Include netlists/modelcards
Created symbol
Include required sections & netlists
Run simulation & View results
Warning about cell redefined can be ignored
Use spectre model in ADS
Define essential parameter of model
Setup required model sections
Simulation Results
Conclusion
The capability of simulating spectre/HSPICE netlists in ADS
make users more flexible in using ADS’s powerful tools in
Design & Verification.
