System Variables
This
variable...
Evaluates to this...
TEMP Temperature values resulting from a temperature,
parametric temperature, or DC temperature
sweep analysis.
The default temperature, TNOM, is set in the
Options dialog box (from the Analysis menu,
select Setup and click Options). TNOM defaults
to 27°C.
Note
TEMP can only be used in expressions
pertaining to analog behavioral modeling and the
propagation delay of digital devices.
TIME Time values resulting from a transient analysis. If
no transient analysis is run, this variable is
undefined.
Note
TIME can only be used in analog
behavioral modeling expressions.
Note
If a passive or
semiconductor device has an
independent temperature
assi
g
nment, then TEMP does
not represent that device’s
temperature.
