Eldo Netlist Setup
Device Libraries
Search Path Priorities Example
The following example is related to search path priorities and shows the order in which
directories are searched. If you have the following command in a netlist file:
.LIB ./foo/myfile.lib
and if in the library file myfile.lib, you have:
.LIB toto
then if file toto is not found in the netlist directory or parent directory, it is searched for in the
current directory from which Eldo was started.
In the case of a nested .LIB or .INCLUDE, the directory of the library file containing the .LIB or
.INCLUDE statement is searched.
Tip
See “.OPTION SEARCH” and the “-searchpath” command-line argument in the Eldo
Reference Manual.

Library Variant Management
The .LIB command can be used to manage library variants such as “best,” “worst,” and
“typical” process variations, also called device corners. Within the library, you must have
sections defined by library variant blocks using the syntax:
.LIB libtype
* device corner specification
.ENDL
An example library file, mos_corners.lib, containing the device corners follows:
lib case management
.lib best
.model MN nmos level=3 vt0=0.5
.endl best
.lib typ
.model MN nmos level=3 vt0=0.75
.endl typ
.lib worst
.model MN nmos level=3 vt0=1.0
.endl worst
