Eldo Netlist Setup
Device Libraries
Specifies that all models and subcircuits missing in the input netlist should be searched
for and extracted from .mod, .ckt, .sub or .cir files contained in the directories /users/
models/ and /users/examples/ in this order. The file containing the model mna must be
named mna.mod.
See “.ADDLIB” in the Eldo Reference Manual.
See also “Search Rules and Naming Conventions for Adding Libraries” on page 136.
• .SCOPE
See also:
Associates a library to a set of instances, using a library identifier (key). For example:
.LIB key=dk1 models1.lib foo
.LIB key=dk2 models2.lib foo
x1 a b foo
x2 a b foo
.SCOPE key=dk1 inst=x1
.SCOPE key=dk2 inst=x2
In this example, models1.lib and models2.lib both contain a definition of subcircuit foo.
Each library is specified a different key, which is used to select the version of foo during
instantiation. The .SCOPE commands attach a specific library to a specific instance with
the key identifier. Here instance x1 is associated to the models1.lib library file, and
instance x2 is associated to the models2.lib library file.
See .SCOPE in the Eldo Reference Manual.

Search Path Priorities
The order of directories in which include and library files are searched for is:
1. Absolute path.
2. Parent directory — Directories of the files in the calling hierarchy (files which contain
the .INCLUDE/.LIB statement), the directory of the last calling file being searched first.
3. Current directory — Directory from which Eldo was started.
4. Search path — Specified using the -searchpath argument or .OPTION SEARCH=path
within the netlist. If both are specified, then the contents of -searchpath is searched first.
