PADS Professional Importing and Simulating a SPICE Model File

Abstract:

In this article we will go over how to simulate an imported SPICE Model file with HyperLynx AMS. 
At the end of this lab, you will be able to:

• Import a SPICE Model File into AMS
• Create a Test Circuit
• Simulate the Test Circuit in Time Domain

We will provide the steps and an example project which you can use to practice running the process. This project folder can also be found in $SDD_HOME\sim\systemvision\tutor\. Copy the folder SPICE_import into your working directory OR the lab attachment can also be found in the "Links" Section of this KBA.

Click on the Links from the "Links" Section to access the lab files and instructions.

Estimated time to complete: 30 to 45 minutes

Version Information: VX.2.14 and later

Prerequisites: Installation and licensing of AMS and HyperLynx Advanced Solvers
