HSpice to Spectre model conversion

Dear all,

I have the transistors model for HSpice (level=54). I need the
transient noise simulation, but unfortunately HSpice doesn’t provide
such functinality.

The Cadence Analog Design Environment (IC5.10.41_USR5) provides
transient noise simulation, but Spectre doesn’t accept HSpice
transistor models.
So, my question is: how to convert Hspice 54 level transistor model
into the corresponding Spectre model?

Best Regards.

Really? What spectre version are you using? Are you using an MMSIM version
of spectre (MMSIM62 or MMSIM70)?

You should be able to point to hspice models via the model libraries, and
it should be handled natively within spectre - unless you're using an
old spectre version (e.g. the one that comes within IC5141) - in which case
you _could_ use the +csfe option in the usrCmdLineOptions in the
Setup->Environment form, but that's not so good because you're using a rather
old version of spectre which has not got recent enhancements or fixes.

Andrew.
