Issue with spice model ADG1419.cir inside a hierarchical schematic

QSPICE
1

I was able to take an opamp model (TL062) and create a custom symbol inside a hierarchical shematic. However when i attemped to do the ADG1492.cir file it seems to work only when i place it on the top level as shown but it seems to give a bunch of warnings and a fatal error when i copy and paste that same block use inside a hierchical schematic. Here are the warnings and fatal error. There must be something about this model file that it doesnt like.

This is the list of warnings and fatal error i get:

looks like it auto formats it when i reply…sorry for that

5

It appears that the issue is evaluating the if statements with nets inside a hierarchical block compared to when it is placed at the top level. Has anyone seen such a behavior?

6

If you still need help with this, please e-mail me the model. The forum doesn’t do great job of sharing files.

Thanks,
