Anyone know, or have pointers, on how to convert an HSpice Level=3
diode model to PSpice?
Thanks!

Hi all there,
got a severe Problem with Integra Station from Mentor graphics.
Does anybody still use Integra and is confident in using it ?
I got a big problem with updating certain "forms" (packages) in my

Hi Folks, I have added a list of UK PCB design, manufacture and
assembly companies to my website at the link below. I hope you find
this useful.

I sent a set of Gerber files from EasyPC v8.0.8 to Advanced Circuits
( http://www.4pcb.com ), and was told that the "dimensions" file
contained improper information ("only two small dashes").  This
resulted in my pcb design being put on "CAM Hold", which delayed its

My old DOS mechanical package won't work well anymore. Need a simple
CAD, just for sketches. IMSI's "Instant Engineer" comes to mind but I
could not find any reviews. Does anyone here use it?
Supposedly it is AutoCAD compatible so I guess one could use the

Good Afternoon,
  I just had a few general questions about SPICE. I am curious if
parameters for one SPICE program might be named differently in
another.  I'd also be interested in knowing whether a "converter"

Dear ng,
Is there a way to build a programmable (nonlinear) resistor in pspice?
I currently use an ABM1 block as an input-voltage-dependent voltage
source. This works fine on the output side, but it doesn't "consume" any

Thank you in advance for your time. I found a neat project to do with
my 14 year old son, but would like to know the science behind it so it
will be educational.
Here is the video link.

I've discovered a phenomen which I claim to be a fatal PSpice error, at
least something that I don't understand at all.
Try simulate the following netlist

I am using altium designer /version 6.6.7/ and I have few specific
problems:
1. I can make gerbers and read it from altium designer but I cannot
import/read them from Protel 99 (and my plotter cannot plot them

I have a PCB program that I purchased from Waldherr in Germany some years
ago and I use it exclusively.
A great program that I'm familiar with but one with absolutely no support at
all....I've emailed the guy a dozen times without a response.

Does anyone in this ng use Zuken?
How does it compare to another EDA program such as Protel 99SE?

I'm trying to increase the number of digits in the _frequency column_
of an ac-analysis like this:
.options numdgt=7
unfortunately this does only increase the number of digits in the

We are working on a telephone circuit layout. We have drawn a carbon
pad for silicone keypads in layout and attached the drawing to a pin
so that the whole drawing became a pin that can be used as a
footprint. But we are not so happy with our carbon pad footprint. Is
