Hspice/Spectre model

[lekez2005]

I have developed local python scripts that modify the supplied ngspice models to support hspice/spectre (aka much much faster) simulations. Would you be potentially interested in integrating them into open_pdks? If so, I can work on a pull request and then you can decide. I see from the comments in fixspice.py that a more robust model is on the way so I suppose this may not be needed but asking just in case.

Sure, I'd be happy to look at the scripts. The "more robust models" are certainly an improvement, but does not address hspice/spectre compatibility.

Alright, I'll send a pull request later today

Hi @lekez2005. Where can I find this script and how should I run it? Can you explain please? Thanks.

I have a pull request here: #244. But really, the hspice branch in my fork should also work for building it: https://github.com/lekez2005/open_pdks/tree/hspice. If you don't care about building for yourself, then you can download and extract hspice-model.tar.bz2 at https://github.com/lekez2005/open_pdks/releases
