## netgen-1.5.118p2 – tool for netlist comparison (LVS) and format manipulation

## Description

    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.
