Hi,
Running a Protel schematic through the rules checker before going anywhere
near the PCB layout (or SPICE for that matter) is a very good idea. Protel
may do this automatically when you create a netlist, but check all the
option settings to make sure it does what you want. Rule checking can o

XILINX FPGA.

Upon completion of the schematics of the board design
do PCB designers do anything to verify the correctness of the board

Anand,
you are asking questions to which the answers shall be as varied as
the number of respondents. The answers will of course be based upon the
environments where the designers work. Some designers are actually EEs and
they do all the design including PCBs, some are EEs but only do the
Yes, you trust the schematic and its netlist. If it is wrong, then the
person that did the schematic screwed up. Now of course you can tell
them you spotted something, like a power pin that was floating because
they were using hidden pins and forgot to connect the right name, but
don't fix it for

The documents that you are requesting are also included in the free trial
version of Protel DXP. Look in the DXP help menu >> Articles and Tutorials.

I'm using Altera FPGAs exclusively, since the tools are an effort in
itself. I also find the handling of MaxPlus2 rather awful, Quartus2
is a bit better.
The functionality they provide is far beyond just a schematic editor.
They allow me have graphic modules ( forget the VHDL for now)

One reason to get the drawing in Protel and then export it to the Xilinx
tools is that the schematic editor of Xilinx is not, how shall I put it,
particularly convenient. I myself have done some designs in it while the
rest of the board was done in Protel. This got me out of my hum on more

I recently had a look into the subject of FPGA and Protel.
I was told the FPGA router is still taken from the manufacturer
(in your case XILINX).
Meaning you're just using Protel to draw the schematics and
send the netlist to the other tool doing the FPGA. These
tools from various manufacturers a
