DESCRIPTION

12       This utility is a SPICE netlist preprocessor.
13
14       It  converts  netlists  in PSPICE syntax to an equivalent SPICE3/XSPICE
15       netlist syntax.
16
17       Recognized are nearly all PSPICE features like:
18
19       *   local and global parameter (expression) definition (.PARAM)
20
21       *   parameter (expression) passing to subcircuits (PARAMS:)
22
23       *   local and global function definition (.FUNC)
24
25       *   E and G-device VALUE=f(V,I), TABLE and POLY lines
26
27       *   E and G-device functions like IDT(), DDT(), LIMIT(), PWRS(), PWR(),
28           IF(), MAX(), MIN(), relational ops, ...
29
30       *   R-device VALUE=f(V,I), L-device FLUX=f(V,I) and C-device Q=f(V,I)
31
32       *   spice2 like C and L-device POLY expressions
33
34       *   pspice VSWITCH and ISWITCH models
35
36       *   pspice .PROBE lines (also with expressions)
37
38       *   R-device lines with temperature coefficients like TC=tc1,tc2
39
40       *   pspice .STEP PARAM lines (not yet tested on GNU/Linux)
41
42       *   pspice .LIB and .INC(lude) lines (not yet tested on GNU/Linux)
43

OPTIONS

45       -h, --help displays the help screen
46
47       -v, --version
48              display version information and exit
49
50       -sp3   switch  means  conversion  of  pspice  table to spice 3 b-source
51              instead of xspice core model (default)
52
53       -ltspice
54              switch means conversion of ^ spice 3 power to **  ltspice  power
55              and addition of tripdv=1 tripdt=1 in b-lines
56
57       -debug for  debugging  all .param .func and .pfunc definitions (default
58              is nodebug)
59
60       -tosub only output subckt expansions
61
62       -fromsub
63              inputfile is a sub.tmp file
64
65       -tolib only output lib expansions
66
67       -fromlib
68              inputfile is a lib.tmp file
69
70       -check determine the same count  of  open  and  closed  paranthesis  in
71              b-lines (default is nocheck)
72
73       -notinylines
74              produces longer b-lines for some functions (default is tinylines
75              = shorter b-lines)
76
77       -xornot
78              allows ^ and ~ operators in the netfile (don't  mix  with  ^  as
79              power operator) use the ** operator as power instead
