Spice export

This chapter of the user manual is dealing with the raw spice workflow, assuming the user wants to understand the process on the spice level. There's an alternative, a higher level abstraction, called sim. Both are also covered by the simulation tutorial.

Raw spice export topics:

• model selection
• spice-specific pinout
• node 0 , the ground network
• bridges , useful for mixed mode (analog+digital) simulation
• full list of symbol, terminal and net attributes used for the raw spice workflow

Standard features of export_spice

Type: netlist.

Attribute usage

For components the following attributes are used to construct file-format specified fields:

• network's spice/gnd is used to select the ground network, node 0
• component's device is printed as comment when debug is enabled
• component's display/value (fallback: value)
• component's display/spice/params (fallback: spice/parans)
• component's spice/model
• component's spice/model_card
• component's spice/model_card_uname
• component's spice/file_header
• component's spice/model_include
• component's spice/command

Extra attributes with export name are not exported: the file format is positional and does not support arbitrary attributes.

Omit and DNP

The plugin will not export components and networks that have the display/omit attribute set.

The plugin ignores DNP.
