Refer to another output equation in ADE

Grover

If I set up the output signals and expressions in Analog Design Environment, is it possible to refer to other expressions in an expression? For example, if I have the expressions

pin3 = (power from the 3.3 V supply)
pin12 = (power from the 12V supply)

can I then define

ptot = pin3 + pin12

in some way?

    I explained how to do this in IC5141 in an earlier post in this thread. You need to ensure that the expression is of the form: varName=someCalculation() - i.e. you have an assignment to a variable as part of the expression. Then you can refer to the variable varName in subsequent expressions. You will need to be careful about the ordering of the expressions though - it will not sort things so that the expressions are evaluated in the right order - it will evaluate them from top to bottom.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
