Patent Images
1. An electronic component footprint verification system, comprising:
- a user interface available to an external user for selecting an electronic component footprint to be verified wherein the electronic component footprint conforms to file formats of a corresponding circuit layout system;
a setup regulation module connected to the user interface for reading a verification rule checklist in an external database as a verification basis in the future;
an application programming interface setup instruction module providing an application programming interface by which a circuit layout system is accessed;
a characteristic extraction module used to extract characteristics of the electronic component footprint;
a data processing module connected to the user interface, the application programming interface setup instruction module and the characteristic extraction module for operating the application programming interface as well as the characteristic extraction module and accessing characteristic data from the electronic component footprint; and
a component footprint verification module connected to the user interface for verification of the characteristic data according to the verification rule checklist and the display of a verification result on the user interface
