Netlist Organiser

The Netlist Organiser tool is a utility used to organize a netlist produced from a schematic design in Allegro format or from the Cadence® Allegro® PCB Layout program.

This tool should be most useful to electronic engineers involved in hardware design. It has been developed to specifically reformat the output of a netlist produced from the OrCAD Capture® schematic design tool using the Allegro output format.

Before moving to layout using the Cadence® Allegro® PCB Layout program, many circuit designers want to review their netlists:

• To check that the net names assigned in the schematic appear as expected in the netlist.

• To check that pins on certain components are connected to the right nets. This is often used to check that buses are hooked up correctly.

• To organise, search, and compare netlists of a new version of a schematic to an old one, and verify the changes carried out - make sure that only nets intended to be changed have been changed, and no others.

• To take the net names connected to an IC and import them into an FPGA tool.

The Netlist Organiser tool will organize the output of the netlist so that the designer can perform these tasks more easily.
