METHODS OF CONVERTING AND/OR TRANSLATING A LAYOUT OR CIRCUIT SCHEMATIC OR NETLIST THEREOF TO A SIMULATION SCHEMATIC OR NETLIST, AND/OR OF SIMULATING FUNCTION(S) AND/OR PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTIC(S) OF A CIRCUIT

摘要

A method of converting or translating a layout or schematic netlist to a simulation netlist, comprising the steps of identifying net-shorting elements in the layout or schematic netlist and automatically replacing at least one such net-shorting element with an RC network to generate the simulation netlist.
