Importing a MOSFET model into Multisim Primary Software: Electronics Workbench>>MultisimPrimary Software Version: 10.0.267 Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A Secondary Software: N/A
Problem: How do I import a SPICE MOSFET model that starts with a “.MODEL” statement into a Multisim component? Solution: Any SPICE model that starts with “.model” is a core model, and the Multisim SPICE engine already has the pin template defined. The Multisim SPICE engine expects the MOSFET model to have four pins. If you used a three pin symbol, Multisim will simulate with an error message. For example, the model you want to import into a component is similar to this: .MODEL B4 NMOS VTO=1.7 KP=322E-6 LAMBDA=0.005 +CGSO=2.5E-9 CGDO=2.5E-9 The general form for a SPICE MOSFET is: Mxxxx D G S B model_name To use the above model in a three pin symbol, you must use a “.SUBCKT” statement and tie the “S” and “B” pin together internally. Here is an equivalent model: .SUBCKT MOS D G S M1 D G S S B4 .MODEL B4 NMOS VTO=1.7 KP=322E-6 LAMBDA=0.005 +CGSO=2.5E-9 CGDO=2.5E-9 .ENDS Note the two “S” nodes on the “M1” line. This is how you connect the “S” and the “B” pin together. If you do not want to modify the model, you must use a four pin symbol.
