Diode Device
The Spectre diode device is translated as an ADS diode device. For information on the diode model, refer to Diode Model (PN-Junction Diode Model).
Example Spectre Command Line:
d0 (dp dn) pdiode l=3e-4 w=2.5e-4 area=1
Spectre Netlist Syntax:
name n1 n2 mname [param= value ]*
ADS Netlist Syntax:
mname : did node1 node2 [param= value ]*
ADS Schematic Symbol:
Instance Parameters:
For information on parameter format, refer to Using Parameter Mapping Tables to Understand a Translation
