SKiDL is very, very cool. It’s a bit of Python code that outputs a circuit netlist for KiCAD. Why is this cool? If you design a PCB in KiCAD, you go through three steps: draw the schematic ...

For this, the electrical circuit of layout netlist is compared against the schematic netlist, which is known as Layout versus Schematic (LVS). Here IC Validator and IC Compiler-II (SYNOPSYS) tools are ...
