How do you want to "use" them?Who knows if it is possible to use .dll libraries in Hspice (dll
represents an external function)?
Probably as in PSpice, where you can create your own device equationsGreg wrote:

Thanks, Jim. I'm pretty sure the answer is no, HSpice doesn't have anyOn Tue, 27 Apr 2004 19:34:05 -0400, Jeff Schwab <jeffplus@comcast.net

I have an external function which describes behaviour of the circuitJim Thompson wrote:

Thanks, Jim. I'm pretty sure the answer is no, HSpice doesn't have any
support for device models not defined in a spice file. Synopsys does
have products that support that sort of thing, though; I'm pretty sure
you can do it with NanoSim, for example.
Must you use HSpice?Jeff Schwab <jeffplus@comcast.net> wrote in message

But this one shouldn't be a problem. You can just have lots of, e.g.I have an external function which describes behaviour of the circuit
(can be viewed as a black box). Due to the complexity of the
description it is impossible to put it directly in HSpice (there are
some obsolete limitations e.g. for the maximal length of the
mathematical equation).
Your guess is probably correct. There are a few XSpice based vendorsThe black box mathematical description is
constructed basing on (long) numerical simulations in HSpice and gives
(very fast) macromodel responses.
As it was tested in Matlab: I call the .dll with several electric
parameters, and it gives me back the (black box) circuit response
(voltage value). I would like to implement it in Hspice, but I have no
idea how to do it.

Unfortunately I have to. I know that it is possible to add external
I tried, but the mathematical function which gives pretty good resultsI have an external function which describes behaviour of the circuit

description it is impossible to put it directly in HSpice (there are

mathematical equation).
But this one shouldn't be a problem. You can just have lots of, e.g.
VCVS, with bits of the equation.

Your guess is probably correct. There are a few XSpice based vendors
that have this capability as well. Not that I have been bothered to add
it myself. I would say its a 100:1 ratio of people who are prepared to
write code themselves to solve analogue design problems.
