    Simulation With NEtlist PDF

    Uploaded by

    snemalec
    This document discusses simulating electrical circuits using Netlist descriptions. It begins with an overview of what a Netlist is, which is a connectivity description of an electronic design listing components and how they are connected. It then discusses the circuit simulation process, including creating a schematic, generating a Netlist file, setting simulation parameters, and running the simulation. Examples of Netlist code are provided to demonstrate device definitions and commands for specifying analyses, plotting results, and more. The document also covers creating subcircuits to simplify complex designs.
