Re[2]: SCOPE

Text item:

Jon,

I agree with Arpad, If they are not treated as local variables, you might have
unintended cross-linking of models and erroneous data being used and generated.

Will

I think they should be handeled just like the "local variables" in programming
languages like C. If it is not handeled that way, you might run into duplicate
buffers in a simulation, and if they are not identical despite their name being
the same, you are in trouble.

Arpad

Here is a general question.

Do IBIS pin models have SCOPE. That is, can you have a pin model
names (say) OUTPUTDRIVER in one .ibs file and another with the
same name in another .ibs file without the names being
considered to overlap?
