NAME

ps2sp - Netlist preprocessor

SYNOPSIS

perl ps2sp.pl [OPTION] infile > outfile

DESCRIPTION

This utility is a SPICE netlist preprocessor.
It converts netlists in PSPICE syntax to an equivalent SPICE3/XSPICE netlist syntax.
Recognized are nearly all PSPICE features like:
*
local and global parameter (expression) definition (.PARAM)
*
parameter (expression) passing to subcircuits (PARAMS:)
*
local and global function definition (.FUNC)
*
E and G-device VALUE=f(V,I), TABLE and POLY lines
*
E and G-device functions like IDT(), DDT(), LIMIT(), PWRS(), PWR(), IF(), MAX(), MIN(), relational ops, ...
*
R-device VALUE=f(V,I), L-device FLUX=f(V,I) and C-device Q=f(V,I)
*
spice2 like C and L-device POLY expressions
*
pspice VSWITCH and ISWITCH models
*
pspice .PROBE lines (also with expressions)
*
R-device lines with temperature coefficients like TC=tc1,tc2
*
pspice .STEP PARAM lines (not yet tested on GNU/Linux)
*
pspice .LIB and .INC(lude) lines (not yet tested on GNU/Linux)

OPTIONS

-h, --help displays the help screen
-v, --version
display version information and exit
-sp3
switch means conversion of pspice table to spice 3 b-source instead of xspice core model (default)
-ltspice
switch means conversion of ^ spice 3 power to ** ltspice power and addition of tripdv=1 tripdt=1 in b-lines
-debug
for debugging all .param .func and .pfunc definitions (default is nodebug)
-tosub
only output subckt expansions
-fromsub
inputfile is a sub.tmp file
-tolib

-fromlib
inputfile is a lib.tmp file
-check
determine the same count of open and closed paranthesis in b-lines (default is nocheck)
-notinylines
produces longer b-lines for some functions (default is tinylines = shorter b-lines)
-xornot
allows ^ and ~ operators in the netfile (don't mix with ^ as power operator) use the ** operator as power instead
