-| keeper | The production rules for a signal are analyzed to determine if the pull-up and pull-down networks are perfect complements of each other. If they aren't, then a keeper is generated. There are two common scenarios when this behavior is undesired: (i) the gate is intended to be dynamic, and so it is state-holding but a staticizer should not be generated. Set ''keeper'' to ''0'' for this behavior. (ii) the gate looks state-holding, but it is actually a combinational gate because certain inputs are supposed to be complements of each other. In this case, set ''keeper'' to ''2''. |+| keeper | The production rules for a signal are analyzed to determine if the pull-up and pull-down networks are perfect complements of each other.

In this case, set ''keeper'' to ''2''. (iii) the gate is state-holding, is a C-element (uses ''#>''), is a two-input gate, and should use the H-topology C-element keeper structure. TO-BE-IMPL: For this, set ''keeper'' to 3. |

 | iskeeper | used to let prs2net know that the specified production rule is in fact the manually  specified staticizer/keeper circuit. prs2net labels transistors used for keepers in the spice netlist, and this attribute can be used to ensure that manually specified keepers are also labeled (with ''_keeper''). | | iskeeper | used to let prs2net know that the specified production rule is in fact the manually  specified staticizer/keeper circuit. prs2net labels transistors used for keepers in the spice netlist, and this attribute can be used to ensure that manually specified keepers are also labeled (with ''_keeper''). |
