Models

Nested Model Libraries

Besides device model and subcircuit definitions, model libraries

can also contain references to other model libraries using the

PSpice .LIB syntax. When searching model libraries for

matches, PSpice A/D also scans these referenced libraries.

Example: Suppose you have two custom model libraries,

mydiodes.lib and myopamps.lib, that you want PSpice A/

D to search any time you simulate a design. Then you can create

a third model library,

mymodels.lib, that contains these two

statements:

.LIB mydiodes.lib

.LIB myopamps.lib

and configure mymodels.lib for global use. Because

mydiodes.lib and myopamps.lib are referenced from

mymodels.lib, they are automatically configured for global

use as well.

MicroSim-Provided Models

The model libraries that you initially install with your MicroSim

programs are listed in

nom.lib. This file demonstrates how you

can nest references to other libraries and models.

If you select Library and Include Files from the Analysis menu

in Schematics immediately after installation, you will see the

nom.lib* entry in the Library Files list. The asterisk means that

this model library, and any of the model libraries it references,

contain global model definitions.
