 +Example of a hierarchical analog RF SPICE model in the:\\

 +--------------------- ​ Contents of directories ​ -----------------------
 +
 +This directory holds the schematics and associated materials for a
 +SPICE model of Agilent'​s MSA-2643 bipolar amp.  The model was obtained
 +from Agilent'​s datasheet 5980-2396E. ​ The directory structure is as
 +follows:
 +
 +RF_Amp (base directory)
 +
 +MSA-2643.sch -- schematic of stuff inside device package (as shown in
 +p. 7 of datasheet. ​ Note that I have not included the transmission
 +lines in this schematic because no value of Z was included in the data
 +sheet. ​  (Yes, it's probably 50 ohms, but including them was a
 +sideshow compared to my main intent: build a hierarchical model of an
 +RF circuit.)
 +MSA-2643.cir -- netlisted circuit ready for SPICE simulation.
 +
 +Q1.sch -- schematic model of Q1 MSA-26 transistor shown on p. 8 of datasheet.
 +Q1.cir -- netlisted circuit holding .SUBCKT model of Q1.
 +
 +Q2.sch -- schematic model of Q2 MSA-26 transistor shown on p. 8 of datasheet.
 +Q2.cir -- netlisted circuit holding .SUBCKT model of Q2.
 +
 +README -- this file.
 +
 +Simulation.cmd -- a file holding SPICE analysis commands which is read
 +at simulation time by the SPICE simulator.
 +
 +5980-2396E.pdf -- Agilent datasheet about the MSA-2643.
 +
 +
 +./model/
 +
 +BJTM1_Q1.mod -- text-based SPICE model of BJT1 used in Q1 .SUBCKT
 +DiodeM1_Q1.mod -- text-based SPICE model of diode M1 used in Q1 .SUBCKT
 +DiodeM2_Q1.mod -- SPICE model of diode M2 used in Q1 .SUBCKT
 +DiodeM3_Q1.mod -- SPICE model of diode M3 used in Q1 .SUBCKT
 +(similar files for Q2 models. . . .)
 +These models were obtained from parameters give in p. 8 of the datasheet.
 +
 +./sym/
 +
 +BJT_Model.sym
 +spice-subcircuit-IO-1.sym
 +spice-subcircuit-LL-1.sym
 +Q_Model.sym -- symbol pointing to lower level models placed on upper
 +level schematic.
 +
 +------------ ​ Usage of hierarchical spice models ---------------------
 +This project exemplifies construction of a hierarchical SPICE
 +simulation using gEDA.  The project is built in the following way:
 +
 +1.  Use a text editor to create .mod files containing SPICE models of
 +the transistors and diodes on p. 8 of the datasheet.
 +
 +2.  Create Q1 and Q2 transistor model schematics using gschem. ​ Place
 +the .SUBCKT SPICE block on the schematic to alert the netlister that
 +the schematic is a lower level .SUBCKT for incorporation into other
 +schematics. ​ Place spice-IO pads on the schematic to instantiate the
 +IOs.  Make sure to number the spice-IO pads in the same order as you
 +wish them to appear in the .SUBCKT line in the .cir.
 +
 +3.  Generate the .SUBCKT netlist by saying:
 +
 +gnetlist -g spice-sdb -o Q1.cir Q1.sch
 +gnetlist -g spice-sdb -o Q2.cir Q2.sch
 +
 +4.  Create a symbol for Q1.cir and Q2.cir which will be dropped onto
 +the higher lever schematic. ​ Name the symbol Q_Model.sym. ​ Set the
 +symbol "​DEVICE"​ attribute = NPN_TRANSISTOR_subcircuit. ​ This causes
 +the netlister to use "​write-default-component"​ to write out the SPICE
 +line for the component. ​ Make sure that the "​REFDES"​ attribute is X?
 +and not Q? -- this enables the .SUBCKT file to be attached to the
 +device.
 +
 +5.  Create the higher layer schematic MSA-2643.sch. ​ Place
 +two copies of Q_Model.sym onto the schematic, corresponding to Q1 and
 +Q2.  Make Q1 point to its model by setting the following attributes:
 +
 +model-name: Q1_MSA26F
 +file: Q1.cir
 +
 +Do the same for Q2.
 +
 +6.  Create the rest of the higher layer schematic the usual way.  Make
 +sure to place a spice-include block on the schematic and point it to
 +"​Simulation.cmd"​. ​ Place any analysis commands (e.g. .DC, .AC, .TRAN,
 +etc.) into the file "​Simulation.cmd"​.
 +
 +7.  Netlist the higher layer design:
 +
 +gnetlist -g spice-sdb -o MSA-2643.cir MSA-2643.sch
 +
 +8.  The circuit may be simulated by any desired SPICE simulation
 +and analysis package, e.g. LTSpice.
