NAME

       lotrs - mbk logical transistor

DESCRIPTION

       The  lotrs  is  used  to describe a logical transistor. It is mostly used to describe leaf
       cells in terms of transistors interconnections, and as a  result  of  layout  extractions.
       Since the only target technology is CMOS, only NMOS and PMOS transistors are used.

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

       The following C structure supports the description of the logical transistor :
              typedef struct lotrs {
                 struct lotrs     ∗NEXT;
                 struct locon     ∗DRAIN;
                 struct locon     ∗GRID;
                 struct locon     ∗SOURCE;
                 struct locon     ∗BULK;
                 char             ∗TRNAME;
                 long             X,Y;
                 unsigned short   WIDTH, LENGTH;
                 unsigned short   PS, PD;
                 unsigned short   XS, XD;
                 char             TYPE;
                 struct ptype     ∗USER;
              } lotrs_list;

       NEXT                Pointer to the next lotrs of the list.

       DRAIN               Pointer to the drain connector of the transistor. This  connector  is,
                           of course unique. See locon(3) for details.

       GRID                Pointer to the grid connector of the transistor. This connector is, of
                           course unique. See locon(3) for details.

       SOURCE              Pointer to the source connector of the transistor. This connector  is,
                           of course unique. See locon(3) for details.

       BULK                Pointer to the bulk connector of the transistor. This connector is, of
                           course unique. See locon(3) for details.

       TRNAME              Transistor instance name

       X, Y                Coordinates of the transistor in a  layout.  These  informations  have
                           sens  only  if  the  transistor  netlist  is  the  result  of a layout
                           extraction. They are otherwise set to  zero.   These  coordinates  are
                           given  in  micron  times the scale factor SCALE_X, since the extracted
                           view is technology dependant.

       WIDTH, LENGTH       Respectivly width and length of the transistor grid.

       PS, PD              Respectivly perimeter of the source and drain,  in  micron  times  the
                           scale factor SCALE_X.

       XS, XD              These  values  are  needed to compute respectivly the source and drain
                           areas.  Let As be the source area in square microns, and Width be  the
                           transistor grid width in micron, then lotrs->XS = As / Width * SCALE_X

       TYPE                Canal type of the transistor. Six legal values are available :

                           TRANSN              N type MOS transistor

                           TRANSP              P type MOS transistor

                           TRANSN_FAST         High speed N type MOS transistor

                           TRANSP_FAST         High speed P type MOS transistor

                           TRANSN_HVIO         Low Leakage N type MOS transistor

                           TRANSP_HVIO         Low Leakage P type MOS transistor

       USER                Pointer  to  a ptype list, see ptype(3) for details, that is a general
                           purpose pointer used to share informations on the transistor.

       Remark :            In integrated techniques, NMOS transistor bulk for digital circuits is
                           always set to ground, and PMOS transistor bulk for digital circuits is
                           always set to positive supply.
