Modulo operation in a decimal-to-binary converter

I'd like to create a simulation device which converts an integer that is passed through as a parameter "_N" into a 8-bit bus. The plan is to use a vdc battery, and bit 0 is fairly simple (pPar("_N")%2).

For bit 1 I tried ((pPar("_N")-(pPar("_N")%2))%2), but it caused a fatal error

Unexpected character `%' in netlist.

Unexpected integer "2". Expected close parenthesis

By changing the formula to (pPar("_N")-(pPar("_N")%2)), the simulation turned out OK.

So why is the second modulo operation not accepted?

Thanks in advance!

Percent (%) is not a valid AEL (Analog Expression Language) nor spectre operator (see the AEL documentation and "spectre -h expressions").

Instead, I'd suggest you use pPar("_N")&1 or if you want to detect a different bit something like use (pPar("_N")&4)>>2 (this will detect nnnn1nn).

Regards,

Andrew.

Thanks Andrew. I just found fmod() would do the job for me.
