Tuan,

A netlist is a file that contains the net name and all of the components
connected to that network of the circuit.  The file describes the topology
of the circuit.  A Test Engineer can use this file to generate in-circuit
tests.  For example a circuit that looks like this:

                        N01
   +Vcc   <-----/\/\/\--.----| |----- Gnd
                  R1         C1

Might have a netlist like this
Vcc; R1.1
Gnd; C1.2
N01; R1.2, C1.1

Most schematic capture systems can output this type of file.  You may want
to check with the system your using, it may have additional information.

Regards,
Steve

Hi all,

I have little knowledge about netlist and need to know more about it.
Could someone please point me to the right direction as to where (websites,
phone numbers, ...), books ... so I can learn.

Thank you in advance for your help.
