* **structure:** can be [``tree``\|``multi-level``\|``one-level``]. The structure options are valid for SRAM-based multiplexers. For RRAM-based multiplexers, currently we only support the circuit design in [5]. If ``multi-level`` the following parameter is required:
* **structure:** can be [``tree`` \| ``multi-level`` \| ``one-level``]. The structure options are valid for SRAM-based multiplexers. For RRAM-based multiplexers, currently we only support the circuit design in [5]. If ``multi-level`` the following parameter is required:
* **num_level:** specify the number of levels when multi-level structure is selected, only.
* **add_const_input:** can be [``true``\|``false``]. When enabled, an extra input will be added to the multiplexer circuits defined in this ``circuit_model``. For example, an 4-input multiplexer will be turned to a 5-input multiplexer. The extra input will be wired to a constant value, which can be specified through the XML syntax ``const_input_val``. The constant value can be either 0 or 1 (By default it is 0). Note that adding such input will help reducing the leakage power of FPGA and parasitic signal activities, with a limited area overhead.

* **const_input_val:** specify the constant value, to which the extra input will be connected. This syntax is only valid when the ``add_const_input`` is set to true.
* **local_encoder:** can be [``true``\|``false``]. When enabled, an local encoder will be added to the multiplexer circuits defined in this ``circuit_model``. The local encoder will be interface the SRAM inputs of multiplexing structure and SRAMs. It can encode the one-hot codes (that drive the select port of multiplexing structure) to a binary code. For example, 8-bit ``00000001`` will be encoded to 3-bit ``000``. This will help reduce the number of SRAM cells used in FPGAs as well as configuration time (especially for scan-chain configuration protocols). But it may cost an area overhead.

.. note:: Local encoders are only applicable for one-level and multi-level multiplexers. Tree-like multiplexers are already encoded in their nature.
