Circuit Netlist Operations
The Circuit Netlist Editor is an easy-to-use tool for viewing and editing netlists. The input conventions are the same as those of standard text editors, and the Netlist Editor also contains special functions that integrate it with the desktop environment.
Typically, a netlist is a coded textual representation that describes the connections, subcircuits, ports, and other components in a circuit. The netlist contains electrical information and optional references to substrate definitions. Netlist contributions from circuit components such as coupled lines and transmission lines can contain information about the physical layout of the component.
- The Circuit simulator supports both netlist-based designs and schematic-based designs. A netlist-based design consists of just a netlist definition, but with a schematic-based design, a netlist is created internally to represent the circuit.
- The Planar EM tool does not generate a netlist, but simulates directly on the geometry and substrate information.
