Tools for netlist comparison?

pk359

Hi all,

As I make changes from one version of my schematic to the next, I like to verify the changes by comparing the before/after netlist. However, Orcad is not consistent in how it lists the components. For example:

*SIGNAL* 12V_DRIVE
LC5.1 U1.8 R6.1 R7.2 R5.2 TP6.1 C4.1

See how the components are not in alphanumeric order? Without changing the net, the order in the next version might be different. So when I do a difference comparison, it shows a difference when the net really hasn't changed.

So, is there a way to force Orcad to output the components in a netlist in order? Or is there a tool designed for netlist comparison?

Thanks,

Paul
