- Hello all:
-
- I am in the process of debugging a piece of software
- which translates a flattened circuit simulator input
- netlist into a 'hierarchical' netlist (ie, one which
- contains subcircuit definitions and instances).
-
- Question:
-
- Is there a tool around which will compare two circuit
- simulation input files and determine if they are the
- same *topologically*?
-
- My current technique involves running lengthy hspice
- simulations and comparing the outputs... a long and
- tedious process.
-
- Thanks in advance!

- Hi,
- Most Physical verification packages contain "LVS" (layout vs. schematic)
- software. This software provides netlist extraction from a layout, and,
- important for your application, netlist comparison. I worked on the
- CheckMate product at Mentor Graphics, and the NetCheck executable should
- do what you need.
-
- Disclaimer: Yup, I still work for Mentor Graphics and am probably biased....
-
- Cheers,
- Carl
