ADDLOCAP(3)		      MBK LOGICAL FUNCTIONS		     ADDLOCAP(3)

NAME
     addlocap - create a logical capacitor

SYNOPSIS
     #include "mlo.h"

     locap_list *addlocap(ptfig,type,capa,tcon,bcon,name)
     lofig_list *ptfig ;
     char type ;
     double capa ;
     losig_list *tcon, *bcon ;
     const char *name ;

PARAMETERS
     ptfig		 Pointer  to the figure in which the capacitor should be
			 added

     type		 Capacitor type

     capa		 Capacitance value in Farads

     tcon		 Pointer to the signal to be connected on the  capacitor
			 top plate

     bcon		 Pointer  to the signal to be connected on the capacitor
			 bottom plate

     name		 Capacitor instance name

DESCRIPTION
     addlocap creates a new capacitor, and adds it to  the  list  of  capacitors
     pointed  to  by  ptfig -> LOCAP. The new capacitor is added in front of the
     list, and becomes itself the list head.
     The type parameter can take two values :

	    CAPMIM		for a metal/metal capacitor (the top  plate  and
				the bottom plate layers are different metal lay-
				ers)

	    CAPPNWELL		for  a POLY/NWELL capacitor (if available in the
				technology). The top plate layer is POLY, bottom
				plate is NWELL.

     The capa argument is the capacitance value in Farads.
     Two connectors are created each time a capacitor is added, and the tcon and
     bcon losigs are attached to the SIG field of the locon of	the  appropriate
     connector.  The  connectors  names  are  tcon  (top plate) and bcon (bottom
     plate); their direction, DIR, are set to 'P', and their TYPE INTERNAL.  For
     details on the structures, see locon(3) and locap(3).

RETURN VALUE
     addlocap returns a pointer to the newly created capacitor.

ERRORS
     "*** mbk error *** illegal capacitor type : type"
	    The type is not a legal capacitor type.

EXAMPLE
     #include "mlo.h"

     void parallel_capacitors(void) /* netlist of two parallel capacitors */
     {
       lofig_list *pt  = NULL ;
       losig_list *in  = NULL ;
       losig_list *out = NULL ;

       pt = addlofig("parallel_capacitors") ;
       addlocon(pt,"in",in = givelosig(pt,0),IN) ;
       addlocon(pt,"out",out = givelosig(pt,1),OUT) ;

       addlocap(pt,CAPMIM,0.5e-6,in,out,"cap1") ;
       addlocap(pt,CAPMIM,0.5e-6,in,out,"cap2") ;
     }
