Re: Valid Numeric Suffixes for Verilog-A/AMS

Jonathan,
    The complete set can be found here:

Personally, I'd like to see us add a function or a special %code that
converts numbers into strings with scale factors and perhaps units. I
find the way verilog prints out real numbers to be quite difficult to read.
