A method is provided to convert an analog mixed-signal schematic design to a digital netlist: digital blocks within the schematic design are converted to digital netlist modules; analog blocks within the schematic design are converted to analog netlist modules: at least one digital netlist module includes a first identifier for a component that is shared between at least one digital block and at least one analog block within the schematic design; an analog netlist module that corresponds to the at least one analog block within the design includes a second identifier for the shared component that is different from the first identifier; the analog netlist modules are converted to corresponding digital netlist modules; the first identifier is substituted for the second identifier in the course of translating the analog netlist module that corresponds to the at least one analog block.
