spice2wireviz
Convert LTspice SPICE netlists to WireViz wiring diagrams.
What it does
spice2wireviz reads SPICE netlist files (.net, .cir, .sp) and generates WireViz YAML that documents the physical wiring: connectors, test points, and inter-module cables.
Two operating modes:
- Single module — External interface of one subcircuit (its connectors, test points, port interface)
- Inter-module — How multiple subcircuits/boards connect to each other
Install
uv tool install spice2wireviz
# or
pip install spice2wireviz
Usage
# Inter-module wiring (auto-detected from top-level X instances)
spice2wireviz top_level.net -o wiring.yml --render
# Single module external interface
spice2wireviz design.net -s amplifier_board -o amp.yml
# Only connectors and test points, no ground
spice2wireviz design.net --include-prefixes J,TP --no-ground
# Inspect before converting
spice2wireviz design.net --list-subcircuits
spice2wireviz design.net --list-components
spice2wireviz design.net --dry-run
Filtering
Cherry-pick what appears in the diagram:
--include-prefixes J,TP # Only these component types
--exclude-refs X3,J_DEBUG # Hide specific references
--include-nets "SIG_*" # Glob patterns for net names
--no-ground # Hide GND connections
--no-power # Hide VCC/VDD connections
