ddt VerilogA usage

AndreaD

Hi,

reading Verilog®-A Language Reference I found this description of ddt function I don't understand:

Use the time derivative operator to calculate the time derivative of an argument.

ddt( input [ , abstol | nature ] )

input is a dynamic expression.

abstol is a constant specifying the absolute tolerance that applies to the output of the ddt operator. Set abstol at the largest signal level that you consider negligible.

nature is a nature from which the absolute tolerance is to be derived.

Can anyone explain how abstol and nature are defined? how using them? an example would be really appreciated.

Thanks

Andrea
