ABSTRACT:
A method and device for scoping global nets from a schematic in a flat netlist. The device is a complementary subsystem to a flat netlister software package. The device allows instances in a schematic to systematically reassign global nets to local nets so that the use of such nets does not affect usage of the global nets elsewhere in the circuit. The device tracks all global nets and maps the corresponding scoped nets to their net identifiers. Then, as the netlister creates the flat netlist, the device replaces the global net's net identifier with the correct net identifier of the corresponding scoped net.
