Xschem is a schematic capture program, it allows creation of hierarchical representation of circuits with a top down approach . By focusing on interfaces, hierarchy and instance properties a complex system can be described in terms of simpler building blocks. A VHDL or Verilog or Spice netlist can be generated from the drawn schematic, allowing the simulation of the circuit. Key feature of the program is its drawing engine written in C and using directly the Xlib drawing primitives; this gives very good speed performance, even on very big circuits. The user interface is built with the Tcl-Tk toolkit, tcl is also the extension language used. - hierarchical schematic drawings, no limits on size - any object in the schematic can have any sort of properties (generics in VHDL, parameters in Spice or Verilog) - new Spice/Verilog primitives can be created, and the netlist format can be defined by the user -tcl extension language allows the creation of scripts; any user command in the drawing window has an associated tcl comand - VHDL / Verilog / Spice netlist, ready for simulation - Behavioral VHDL / Verilog code can be embedded as one of the properties of the schematic block.
