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.
