How to map the symbol pin of Apex PA107 to the Model nodes
In the spice model of PA107, the model nodes are defined as below
* BEGIN MODEL PA107
* PINOUT ORDER -IN +IN OUT +Vaux +Vsp -Vsp -Vaux +Vs -Vs
* PINOUT ORDER 36 35 20 22 19 29 25 43 44
.SUBCKT PA107 36 35 20 22 19 29 25 43 44
.......
.ENDS VN05
* END MODEL PA107
IS the number 36、35、20、22... in the line 2 of the spice model the model nodes which I should be mapped to the symbol pin?
There are 12 pins in PA107, only 9 of them are connected. So in the step of "Enter Footprint and Package Information", the number 9 is filled in the "Number of Pins" blank.
In the mapping dialog the symbol pin can only be chosen from 1 to 9.
How to map the symbol pin?
PS.
The datasheet and spice model of PA107 is uploaded.
I want to simulate a amplifier circuit provided in the pdf of PA107 Evaluation board, so the Multisim file and the pdf about the Evaluation board are also uploaded.

Hi,
These two lines in the model are comments, the SPICE simulator ignores them:
* PINOUT ORDER -IN +IN OUT +Vaux +Vsp -Vsp -Vaux +Vs -Vs
* PINOUT ORDER 36 35 20 22 19 29 25 43 44
This line is the beginning of the model:
.SUBCKT PA107 36 35 20 22 19 29 25 43 44
The key to map the model correctly is to look at the Pin ORDER on the subckt line, the first pin declared on the subckt statement in 36, so in Multisim you enter 1 in the table. The second pin declared is 35 which correspond to the IN+ so in Multisim, you enter 2 in the table.
Have a look at this tutorial,
