.SH SYNOPSIS
.B ps2sp
\fR[\fIOPTION\fR] \fIinfile > outfile\fR
.SH DESCRIPTION
.TP
This utility is a SPICE netlist preprocessor.
.TP
It converts netlists in PSPICE syntax to an equivalent SPICE3/XSPICE netlist syntax.
.TP
Recognized are nearly all PSPICE features like:
.IP "*" 4
local and global parameter (expression) definition (.PARAM)
.IP "*" 4
parameter (expression) passing to subcircuits (PARAMS:)
.IP "*" 4
local and global function definition (.FUNC)
.IP "*" 4
E and G-device VALUE=f(V,I), TABLE and POLY lines 
.IP "*" 4
E and G-device functions like IDT(), DDT(), LIMIT(), PWRS(), PWR(), IF(),
MAX(), MIN(), relational ops, ...
.IP "*" 4
R-device VALUE=f(V,I), L-device FLUX=f(V,I) and C-device Q=f(V,I)
.IP "*" 4
spice2 like C and L-device POLY expressions
.IP "*" 4
pspice VSWITCH and ISWITCH models
.IP "*" 4
pspice .PROBE lines (also with expressions)
.IP "*" 4
R-device lines with temperature coefficients like TC=tc1,tc2 
.IP "*" 4
pspice .STEP PARAM lines (not yet tested on GNU/Linux)
.IP "*" 4
pspice .LIB and .INC(lude) lines (not yet tested on GNU/Linux)
.SH OPTIONS
\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR
displays the help screen
.TP
\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR
display version information and exit
.TP
\fB\-sp3\fR
switch means conversion of pspice table to spice 3 b\-source
instead of xspice core model (default)
.TP
\fB\-ltspice\fR
switch means conversion of ^ spice 3 power to ** ltspice
power and addition of tripdv=1 tripdt=1 in b\-lines
.TP
\fB\-debug\fR
for debugging all .param .func and .pfunc definitions
(default is nodebug)
.TP
\fB\-tosub\fR
only output subckt expansions
.TP
\fB\-fromsub\fR
inputfile is a sub.tmp file
.TP
\fB\-tolib\fR
only output lib expansions
.TP
\fB\-fromlib\fR
inputfile is a lib.tmp file
.TP
\fB\-check\fR
determine the same count of open and closed paranthesis
in b\-lines (default is nocheck)
.TP
\fB\-notinylines\fR
produces longer b\-lines for some functions (default is
tinylines = shorter b\-lines)
.TP
\fB\-xornot\fR
allows ^ and ~ operators in the netfile (don't mix with ^ as
power operator) use the ** operator as power instead
