Abstract

The present invention provides a system and method for generating circuit schematic that includes extracting connectivity data of a plurality of devices from a netlist, categorizing the plurality of devices into groups, placing Schematic Analog Placement Constraints on all the instances by identifying instances among the groups that match with a circuit template (in-built as well as user-specified), creating a BFS instance tree of tree instances, creating a two terminal device clusters and creating instance attachments. Using the constraints during grid based placement and eventually generated schematic which look like analog schematic.
