Linear Voltage-Controlled Voltage Source (vcvs)
The Spectre vcvs device is translated as an ADS VCVS device.
Example Spectre Command Line:
e1 (out1 0 pos neg) vcvs gain=10
Spectre Netlist Syntax:
name p n ps ns vcvs [param= value ]*
ADS Netlist Syntax:
VCVS: name node1 node2 node3 node4 [param= value ]*
 | Note The netlist syntax for ADS is valid only when using the backward-compatibility option (-bc option). The order of nodes is reversed because Spectre components list the output node pair first, followed by the input node pairs. |
