Capacitor Device

The Spectre capacitor device is translated as an ADS capacitor device. For information on the capacitor model, refer to C_Model (Capacitor Model).

Example Spectre Command Line:

Without model referenced:
c1 (1 0) capacitor c=2.5u w=2u l=2.5u tc1=1e-8
With model referenced:
c1 (1 0) proc_cap c=2.5u w=2u l=2.5u tc1=1e-8

Spectre Netlist Syntax:

Without model referenced:
name n1 n2 mname [param= value ]*
With model referenced:
name n1 n2 capacitor [param= value ]*

ADS Netlist Syntax:

Without model referenced:
C: cid n1 n2 C= value [param= value ]*
With model referenced:
mname : cid n1 n2 [param= value ]*

Comments:

• The value of C cannot be an expression that changes during the simulation.

• If trise is provided, Temp = trise + temp ( temp is an ADS global variable).
