System and method for similarity analysis of netlist topology

Abstract

A system and a method for similarity analysis of netlist topologies. The similarity analysis method includes following steps: obtaining netlist data, wherein the netlist data is corresponding to a design of a printed circuit board (PCB); generating a netlist topology data according to the connection list data; analyzing the netlist data based on the netlist data and reference PCB modules in a PCB module database using a learning algorithm, to calculate hit rates individually between the netlist data and the reference PCB modules; and, selecting at least one selected PCB module from the reference PCB modules based on the hit rates and the netlist topology data and providing the at least one selected PCB module to a layout user interface. The layout user interface presents the selected at least one PCB module on a user interface.
