QRC extraction without LVS first

MoMiner1870

Hello all, is there any way to run QRC parasitic extraction without running LVS first?

I don't have a schematic to run the layout against so LVS will not work.

Thanks!

    Hi Daryl

    When running PVS ERC, please enable "Generate QRC data" option in the form. This will create an "svdb" directory which can be used as input to QRC. You can then generate a spice netlist using QRC. After generating the spice netlist, please create a symbol to represent the netlist so that it can be placed in a schematic for simulation.

    Best regards
