pdaCompactModelItem

Structure

The attributes and elements are shown below, in a sorted per type fashion.
In case a list is printed after an element, it indicates that you can have many, otherwise it should be a single element. With a optional it tells the element is not required.

XSD

The schema file can be downloaded or viewed at xPDK_CompactModel_List.

Details

MRL

Type pdaMRL documentation: Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) as defined by the EU.

TRL

Type pdaTRL documentation: Technology Readiness Level (TRL) as defined by the EU.

doc

Type pdaDocumentation documentation:
This field allows some (short, few lines) documentation to be written. It can be a long string, but the idea is not to replace a design manual.
This fields is like tex which allows documentation in LaTex format; doc is restricted to plain text.

groupRef

Type pdaIdentifier documentation:
Identifiers are used in the Python library for the getName() and


        setName()

function and can thus be used to identify the different elements in list s.
In text the specification is a letter, followed by letters, numbers, underscore. The XSD schema validation is a regular expression: [A-Za-z]([A-Za-z0-9_])*

modeltype

Reference to a model type to define the properties that are expected for this model. Type pdaIdentifier documentation:
Identifiers are used in the Python library for the getName() and


        setName()

name

Short name of the model. Type pdaIdentifier documentation:
Identifiers are used in the Python library for the getName() and


        setName()

parameter

Define the parameters that are expected in a model.
The parameters of the model define what a simulator can use to vary within a model. So for a spectral tansfer, you can set the wavelength for example.
If the circuit simulator does not set the value, the model will use the default.
Type pdaNamedValue documentation:

tex

Type pdaTexDocumentation documentation: doc , but tex can be a long text in LaTex format to document the layer in more detail if needed.

You can document anything relevant for the topic you want to define.

Multiple paragraphs is fine. Format is Latex, so more complex content is possible.

ticket
