Title: LPE and PRE in Dracula
Post by Yutao Liu on Feb 3^rd, 2013, 1:37am

Hello everyone,
What is the difference between Layout Parasitic Extraction (LPE) and Parasitic Resistance Extraction in Dracula?
It seems that only parasitic capacitance in the output file of LPE, while both parasitic resistance and capacitance are reported in PRE.
I want to run simulation with the post-layout netlist, which output file I should use?

By the way, there is "*" at the beginning of the line in which reports the parasitic capacitance. What does the "*" mean?

Thanks in advance!
