netgen-1.5.171p4

tool for netlist comparison (LVS) and format manipulation

Back to search · Project homepage

Description

Netgen is a tool for comparing netlists, a process known as LVS (Layout vs. Schematic). This is an important step in the VLSI IC design flow, ensuring that the geometry that has been laid out matches the expected circuit. Netgen is considered complete and competitive with commercial-grade tools. Code was added to handle device properties and to resolve parallel combinations of devices whether individually instantiated or implied through the use of the "M" property. Serial and parallel networks of passive devices are analyzed and compared between networks.
