Eldo Netlist Setup
Case-Sensitivity
• Running Eldo with the -case argument applies case-sensitivity to the full netlist. If the
netlist contains different language parts then the argument is applied to all parts.
Examples
If you have the following netlist with case-sensitive model names (rLk and rlk):
test1.cir
.model rlk res level=4 RSH=1000
.model rLk res level=4 RSH=10000
Ibias1 0 N1 1mA
Rbig1 N1 0 rLk L=10u W=10u
Ibias2 0 N2 1mA
Rbig2 N2 0 rlk L=10u W=10u
.OP
.end
then you must run Eldo in case-sensitive mode:
eldo test1.cir -case
The voltage for node N1 will be 1V while voltage for node N2 it will be 10V. If you run Eldo in
default mode on this netlist, it will exit with the following error generated:
ERROR 504: In file "./test1.cir" line 3:
+ MODEL "RLK": is defined twice.
Here follows another example using case-sensitivity in nodes names (N1 and n1):
Test2.cir
Ibias1 0 N1 1mA
Rbig1 N1 0 1K
Ibias2 0 n1 1mA
Rbig2 n1 0 1k
.OP
.end
again you must run Eldo in case-sensitive mode:
eldo test2.cir -case
and the Eldo output will be:
DC:2 iterations FOR DC analysis
N1
1.0000E+00
n1
2.0000E+00
Running Eldo in default mode will output:
DC:2 iterations FOR DC analysis
N1
1.5000E+00
