SYNOPSIS
perl ps2sp.pl [OPTION] infile > outfileDESCRIPTION
- This utility is a SPICE netlist preprocessor.
- It converts netlists in PSPICE syntax to an equivalent SPICE3/XSPICE netlist syntax.
- Recognized are nearly all PSPICE features like:
- *
- local and global parameter (expression) definition (.PARAM)
- *
- parameter (expression) passing to subcircuits (PARAMS:)
- *
- local and global function definition (.FUNC)
- *
- E and G-device VALUE=f(V,I), TABLE and POLY lines
- *
- E and G-device functions like IDT(), DDT(), LIMIT(), PWRS(), PWR(), IF(), MAX(), MIN(), relational ops, ...
- *
- R-device VALUE=f(V,I), L-device FLUX=f(V,I) and C-device Q=f(V,I)
- *
- spice2 like C and L-device POLY expressions
- *
- pspice VSWITCH and ISWITCH models
- *
- pspice .PROBE lines (also with expressions)
- *
- R-device lines with temperature coefficients like TC=tc1,tc2
- *
- pspice .STEP PARAM lines (not yet tested on GNU/Linux)
- *
- pspice .LIB and .INC(lude) lines (not yet tested on GNU/Linux)
OPTIONS
-h, --help displays the help screen- -v, --version
- display version information and exit
- -sp3
- switch means conversion of pspice table to spice 3 b-source instead of xspice core model (default)
- -ltspice
- switch means conversion of ^ spice 3 power to ** ltspice power and addition of tripdv=1 tripdt=1 in b-lines
- -debug
- for debugging all .param .func and .pfunc definitions (default is nodebug)
- -tosub
- only output subckt expansions
- -fromsub
- inputfile is a sub.tmp file
- -tolib
- only output lib expansions
- -fromlib
- inputfile is a lib.tmp file
- -check
- determine the same count of open and closed paranthesis in b-lines (default is nocheck)
- -notinylines
- produces longer b-lines for some functions (default is tinylines = shorter b-lines)
- -xornot
- allows ^ and ~ operators in the netfile (don't mix with ^ as power operator) use the ** operator as power instead
