First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for evaluating signal deviations in an electronic design, comprising the steps of:
- formulating one or more signal deviation rules;
processing the electronic design to determine whether the signal deviations of the electronic design violate the signal deviation rules; and
generating an indicator associated with the electronic design to identify violated signal deviation rules.

Abstract
A method is provided for evaluating signal deviations in an electronic design (e.g., a package design), including the steps of: formulating one or more signal deviation rules; processing the electronic design to determine whether the signal deviations violate the signal deviation rules; and generating an indicator (e.g., a DRC and/or report) associated with the electronic design to identify violated signal deviation rules. Processing of the electronic design may be scoped according one or a group of signal nets.
