DRC is not just a layout issue it is an issue that starts at the schematic level.
It can be as simple as testing the symbols. for example are all the pins numbered do two or more pins share the same pin number? There has been some effort to label pin types. These could be Power, Input, Output, Differential etc. Then we can ask are power pins that are connected connected to reasonable voltage levels? I.e. is a ground connected to +5V? Do a pair of differential pins connect to a non-pair? Going through my new netlister I have started adding these. Steve M. Stuart Brorson wrote: > > >> 6) strong drc > > Sure, but where?
