Simulator Compatibility
Options in Compat Mode
This option is automatically set in compat mode. It enables a single backslash to be used
for the continuation of the line. Example:
.OPTION SLASHCONT
R1 1 2 \
3k
R2 1 2 1k
R1 will be set to 3K. Disable this option by specifying .OPTION NOBSLASHCONT.
• SWARN
This option is automatically set in compat mode. It activates TSMC SOA checks.
• TNOM
TNOM defaults to 25°C instead of 27°C. For more information see “Temperature
Handling” on page 287.
Options Only Available in Compat Mode
The following options are only available in compat mode:
• ALTERELDO
Changes the way the .ALTER re-run feature works in compat mode. In compat mode,
for alter index ‘n’, Eldo revisits the ‘n-1’ alter looking for substitution. In default Eldo
mode, for alter index ‘n’, Eldo only deals with the nominal and the alter ‘n’; it ignores
the ‘n-1’ alter. In other words, in compat mode, alters are cumulative, but not in Eldo
default mode. Specify ALTERELDO to activate the default Eldo mode behavior when
in compat mode.
• CKDCPATH
Forces Eldo to issue a warning instead of an error when a dangling node (no DC path to
ground) is encountered on a current source. The source is then disabled and the node
connected to ground. This option is only used in compat mode.
• COMPEXUP
Forces Eldo to keep the name of the extraction results (from .EXTRACT and .MEAS
statements) in uppercase. This option is only used in compat mode.
• NOBSLASHCONT
Disables option SLASHCONT which is set by default in compat mode.
