[SOLVED] how to use a new library 4 hspice?

[prcken]

process : 0.25um ee141

i downloaded a cmos_level49.25um library, but there is a error in the log says that can not find a library, i have tried many times, but it doesn't work. what's the problem,how can I set it correctly? thanks!
best regards!

Maybe the library file has a called another file (or itself), such as:
.lib "cmos_level49.25um" mos
But your library file is not in the same directory in your simulation netlist. For this case, you can modify the .lib statement to include the full path.
If this is not the case, please post the exact error message.

hspice could not find library file named

i tried the .lib statement to include the full path.
the error message is :

.lib '<ModelFile>' MOS

**error**: could not find library file named
<ModelFile>

Added after 1 minutes:

this is my netlist file:
*voltage swing for pass-transistor circuits

m1 vout x gnd gnd nm l=0.25u w=0.5u
m2 vout x vdd vdd pm l=0.25u w=1.5u
mpass vin x x vdd nm l=0.25u w=0.5u
vdd vdd gnd 2.5
vin vin gnd pulse(0 2.5 0.25ns 0.02ns 0.02ns 2ns 4ns)
.ic v(x)=0
.tran 0.10ns 4ns
.lib'C:\synopsys\kj\cmos25_level49.lib'TT
.model nm nmos
.model pm pmos

.probe v(x) v(vout)
.end

spice toxe vs toxp

.lib '<ModelFile>' MOS

Does the above line look like the following?

.lib'C:\synopsys\kj\cmos25_level49.lib' MOS

Maybe I need have a view to cmos25_level49.lib. You may PM it to me if possible.

Added after 2 minutes:

that's what the library contains!!!
thank you so much!!

 

[Hughes]

You should replace <ModelFile> with the full path of the library file -- in your case, it is:
C:\synopsys\kj\cmos25_level49.lib

Just as the sentence I posted before.

If your simulation netlist is put in the same directory as the library file, the only the last component of the path is needed.

 

[prcken]

my simulation netlist is in the same directory as the library file
i tried, but still failed,the error is :
**error**: could not find 4ns in library file
cmos25_level49.lib
that's weird! the time should be set in the library too ?
can u help me to simulate it till u see the waveform?
thanks

 

[Hughes]

You need to put a space before "TT" in the simulation netlist. But this should not cause the error you posted.

I have simulated the netlist on Linux. It should work on Windows too.

 

[prcken]

thank you so much for your help!
i'll try it later

Added after 2 minutes:

but still i have a question
i have set the initial v(x) to o(.ic v(x)=0)
but the graph shows, the v(x) can not go down to 0 at the begining of the simulation,why?

 

[Hughes]

V(x) is 0 at time=0.

 

[prcken]

i see, thanks
still on WINDOWS**error**: could not find library file named cmos25_level49
so upset

 

[Hughes]

The library file name should be cmos25_level49.lib
