SYNOPSYS

       #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 layers)

	      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") ;
       }
