Hi.... What's the difference between flatten and Hierarchal netlist? How can we generate these two type of netlist from synthesis tools? Is there any option for this? Thanks

    flat netlist has only one module in it. All blocks are ungrouped into the main module. each cell and net is therefore unique.
    hierarchical netlist has several modules. Instantiations of these modules begin from the top level and proceed down. Its quite possible one module gets referenced
    in multiple parent module, so losing its uniqueness.
