devices, I2 returns the same value as I1.For M/B/J devices, I3 is positive when current
leaves the object by pin number 3.
See the “.PLOT” and “.PRINT” commands in the Eldo Reference Manual.
• .PROBE
The Eldo .PROBE command is emulated; all node voltages are dumped in the binary
output file (.wdb). To only dump those items specified in .PLOT/.PROBE in the output
file, add .OPTION PROBE.
When .PROBE I is specified with .OPTION POST, only currents through dipoles are
plotted, MOS current pins are not.
See the “.PROBE command” in the Eldo Reference Manual.
• .SAVE
In compat mode, generates a .ic0 file.
See the “.SAVE command” in the Eldo Reference Manual.
• .SUBCKT
When GLOBAL node names are used in the .SUBCKT definition node list, Eldo will
check the node names in the subcircuit list definition prior to the global node list.
See the “.SUBCKT command” in the Eldo Reference Manual.
• .TEMP
The model parameter TREF can be specified. This is equivalent to the parameter TNOM
when the .TEMP command is used to apply temperature effects. When TREF is
specified, TNOM will be ignored.
o
.PARAM TEMP
In compat mode, you must use the TEMPER variable to return the current
simulation temperature set by the .TEMP command. The TEMP variable is not
supported in compat mode.
See the “.TEMP command” in the Eldo Reference Manual.
• .TRAN
If the .TRAN command has four parameters, for example:
.TRAN tprint tstop tstart hmax
o
If value4 (hmax) < value2 (tstop), it is handled as in Eldo standard mode:
.TRAN tprint tstop tstart hmax
o
If value4 (hmax) ≥ value2 (tstop), it is handled as a list of INCRn Tn values:
