PSP files for SPICE subcircuits

Might be encrypted device models. ...Jim Thompson

Drat. Hurumph.

That would be a sales volume reduction tool. I was able to pry the numbers out of one of the files but now have to verify it all. A lot of people would simply move on.

googling seems to suggest that it could be Penn State Philips models?

Joerg, Can you send me a copy?

Encrypted models are usually 100% gobbledygook. So what you have may simply be some headers and footers inserted by some obscure text editor. ...Jim Thompson

Done. This one was easy but on bigger RF devices that's a pain.

But that's for LDMOS and stuff, not for diodes, and AFAIR requires an expensive special simulator:

For diodes this would be a hefty damper on sales.

Looks like it's only one character type out of place, for whatever reason, some sort of box instead of carriage returns.

So, Avago = good company :-)

Are you opening it in Notepad? Notepad doesn't understand encoding, try Wordpad, or another editor which does.

If you want to write a script, I'm guessing the "box character" is 0x0A, whereas Microsoft uses 0x0D, 0x0A for CR+LF. Simple find and replace will 'fix' it.

-- Deep Friar: a very philos>> Just curious: Avago uses files ending on *.psp which used to be PaintShop

Yup, that was the problem.

T'is what I ended up doing. The SPICE files run nicely, it's just coming in a raggedy format. For some reason other mfgs don't do that, their stuff opens correctly in Notepad.

In UltraEdit, if you open such a file, it automatically pops up with, "Would you like to convert this file to DOS format?" ...Jim Thompson

Notepad++ (free) will automatically convert UNIX line endings to DOS/Windows and vice-versa.

Nice piece of kit. Runs under wine, too.

Notepad is what screwed up the SPICE directives in the Avago files.

Notepad++ is NOT Notepad

I'll repeat my assertion that UltraEdit is the _best_ editor ever.

And it'll do DOS Eunuchs.

I like it because of its macro and scripting capabilities, allowing me to convert _huge_ Spice libraries, in every flavor (and mathematical format) known to man, to PSpice in hours rather than days. ...Jim Thompson

No.

This is Notepad++

NOT Windows notepad

Jim Thompson a écrit :

Uedit is the best, but Crimson editor

Aha, thanks. Maybe time to switch to that one.

Also have a look at Crimson editor

"Known Bugs" gives a page error. Really satisfying ;-) ...Jim Thompson

Thanks, Fred, I have bookmarked that. Although I never write code which it seems to be geared towards.
