Netlist extractor SPICE

Netlist extractor SPICE#

This notebook demonstrates how to extract the SPICE netlist of a Component or a GDS file using gdsfactory. It uses the :func:~get_netlist and :func:~get_l2n functions from the gplugins.klayout module to extract the netlist and connectivity mapping, respectively. It also uses the plot_nets function to visualize the connectivity.

import pathlib

from gdsfactory.samples.demo.lvs import pads_correct, pads_shorted

from gplugins.klayout.get_netlist import get_l2n, get_netlist
from gplugins.klayout.netlist_spice_reader import (
    GdsfactorySpiceReader,
)
from gplugins.klayout.plot_nets import plot_nets

Sample layouts#

We generate a sample layout using pads_correct and write a GDS file.

c = pads_correct()
gdspath = c.write_gds()
c.show()
c.plot()

We obtain the netlist using KLayout by simply calling the :func:~get_netlist function from the gplugins.klayout module. The function takes the path to the GDS file as an argument and returns the netlist as a kdb.Netlist object.

netlist = get_netlist(gdspath)
print(netlist)

The connectivity between the components in the GDS file can be visualized using the :func:~plot_nets function from the gplugins.klayout module. The function takes the path to the GDS file as an argument and plots the connectivity between the components in the GDS file.

l2n = get_l2n(gdspath)
cwd = pathlib.Path.cwd()
filepath = cwd / f"{c.name}.txt"
l2n.write_l2n(str(filepath))
plt = plot_nets(
    filepath, spice_reader=GdsfactorySpiceReader(components_as_subcircuits=[c.name])
)
plt.savefig(f"{c.name}.png")
plt.show()

The same steps as above are done for a shorted case.

c = pads_shorted()
gdspath = c.write_gds()
c.plot()
