Ignoring Transmission Lines in LVS

    Hi,

    Here's what I'd like to do. I have a balanced transmission line tree
    that has one buffer on one end and several buffers on the other, and
    I'd like to show this in my schematic. Also, I made a 'spectre'
    representation that wraps around a netlist, so that when I netlist the
    entire design, this structure is included. However, it's really just
    one net, so if I were to do an LVS on the schematic, it wouldn't work
    (in the schematic it's many nets, in the layout, it's one). Is there
    a way to equate the many nets in the schematic to one net in the
    layout?

    Thanks,
    Jake

    If I'm understanding correctly, your transmission line is a "black box"
    in schematic.

    You didn't say which LVS tool you are using, but assuming it's Assura,
    creating an auLvs view for your transmission line and using
    filterDevice( "yourTL" short("in" "out")) rule can probably do the job.
