‘Missing subcircuit’ when creating a Pspice library part from the OPA188 Spice file provided by TI

spice

I created a Pspice part using the Spice file provided by TI. When simulating, I get the following error:

ERROR(ORPSIM-15108): Subcircuit RNOISE_FREE_0 used by X_U1.XR101 is undefined
ERROR(ORPSIM-15108): Subcircuit RNOISE_FREE_0 used by X_U1.XR105 is undefined
ERROR(ORPSIM-15108): Subcircuit RNOISE_FREE_2 used by X_U1.XR104 is undefined
ERROR(ORPSIM-15108): Subcircuit RNOISE_FREE_0 used by X_U1.XR103 is undefined

Some of the lines with the offending subcircuits are as follows:

XR109_3 23 9 RNOISE_FREE_0
XR109_4 41 9 RNOISE_FREE_0

Would 'RNOISE_FREE…' be circuits recognized by TINA (TI's software) but not by PSPICE?
Could I replace them with an equivalent?

Thanks!

Yes, I have faced similar problem while executing one of my simulation circuits using opa4132.lib file. I have copied all files related to OPA4132 to PSpice library but it did not help. So then in simulation settings, I have changed some limits value like (ABSTOL) and (ITL1) but still the same result.

Finally, I have done something which really helped me to solve this issue. You can try these steps:

  1. In EDIT SIMULATION PROFILE window select "Configuration Files" menu
  2. On left side when you select "Library" option, you can see one file named nom.lib. Here you need to add your .lib file. In my case it was OPA4132.
  3. To do that go to browse option, in that select required .lib file and then click on "Add to Design" menu. Then click on OK.
  4. Now you execute your simulation.

Hope it will work.
