Inductor Device

The Spectre mutual_inductor device is translated as an ADS mutual inductor.

Example Spectre Command Line:
Without model referenced:

l33 (0 net29) inductor l=10e-9 r=1 m=1

With model referenced:

l33 (0 net29) ind l=6e-9 r=1 tc1=1e-12 tc2=1e-12 tnom=25

Spectre Netlist Syntax:
Without model referenced:

name n1 n2 inductor [param=value]*

With model referenced:

name n1 n2 mname [param=value]*

ADS Netlist Syntax:
L:lid n1 n2 L=value

ADS Schematic Symbol:

Instance Parameters:
