schematics vs schematics ? (Read 81 times)

richard88 Community Member Offline Posts: 37	schematics vs schematics ? Nov 22^nd, 2006, 11:41pm Hi, We have the conventional layout vs schematics (LVS) check tool available, but is there one tool for "schematics vs schematics" ? I have two sets of schematics and wish to verify if they are identical. Thanks, Richard

There are tools which provide the option to verify schematic v/s schematic.
One of the case where this is very useful is, when big schematic is devided/partitioned
into smaller schematics to cater easy layout execution.
Architecure of the block remains same but hierarchy is changed . If the change is done after the simulation of the block is
completed.schematic v/s schematic verification is very crucial to make sure everything is intact.

Thanks and regards,
Krishna

Reply #2 - Jan 12^th, 2007, 6:20am Most Physical verification tools allow this. Diva, Assura, Dracula do, and I'm sure others can too. After all, LVS is a matter of extracting a netlist from layout, and then comparing that netlist against a schematic netlist. So schematic vs schematic is just a subset of what LVS normally has to do.
