Abstract :
This paper presents a framework for the automatic creation of netlists for arbitrary electronic circuits. The methodology relies on defining interfaces that allow a set of integrated circuits and other electronic components to be interconnected without user intervention. The framework, called "Intelligent Netlist Creator", has been successfully tested on several circuits. The results show that the proposed flow for netlist creation assists the user by automating some connections whenever possible.
