DESCRIPTION

The lores is used to describe a logical resistor. Please note, this description is different from the RCN description and has a different purpose: the created resistor is a functional logical resistor, not a parasitic resistor. For the time being, only MIM (i.e. metal) resistor type is supported.

The declarations needed to work on lores are available in the header file "/labo/include/mlo.h".

The following C structure supports the description of the logical resistor :

typedef struct lores
   {
     struct lores   *NEXT  ;
     struct locon   *RCON1 ;
     struct locon   *RCON2 ; 
     char           *NAME  ;
     double         RESI   ;
     char           TYPE   ;
     struct ptype   *USER  ;
   } lores_list            ;

NEXT

Pointer to the next lores of the list.

RCON1

Pointer to the rcon1 connector of the resistor. This connector is, of course unique. See locon(3) for details.

RCON2

Pointer to the rcon2 connector of the resistor. This connector is, of course unique. See locon(3) for details.

NAME

Resistor instance name

RESI

Resistance value

TYPE

Layer type of the resistor. One legal values is available :

RESMIM

Metal resistor.

USER

Pointer to a ptype list, see ptype(3) for details, that is a general purpose pointer used to share informations on the resistor. This field is used with the LORES_INFO(3) ptype to store physical informations.
