Physical constants¶
Physical constants and unit conventions used across reASITIC.
Conventions inherited from the original ASITIC binary:
Lateral lengths are in microns at the user/REPL boundary.
Numerical kernels (e.g. Grover formulas) consume lengths in cm; the conversion factor 1e-4 (μm → cm) is baked in to the kernels — see
inductance.groverwhere the call sites pre-multiply byUM_TO_CMbefore invoking the closed-form expression.Inductance is reported in nH.
Frequency is in GHz.
Resistance is in Ω.
Recovered from the decompiled C: every coordinate-bearing kernel
function performs x = x * 0.0001 before invoking the inductance
math (see check_segments_intersect in asitic_kernel.c).
