L_Model:Inductor Model

The Spectre inductor is translated to the ADS L_Model. For translation information on the inductor device, refer to Inductor Device.

For more information on the ADS model, place the model in a schematic and choose Edit > Component > Edit Component Parameters to view the model parameters. You can also click Help in the component editor dialog box for additional information.

Example Spectre Command Line:

model ind inductor l=6e-9 r=1 tc1=1e-12 tc2=1e-12 tnom=25

Spectre Netlist Syntax:

model mname inductor [param=value]*

ADS Netlist Syntax:

model mname L_Model [param=value]*

ADS Schematic Symbol:

Model Parameters:

For information on parameter format, refer to Using Parameter Mapping Tables to Understand a Translation.
