A method and software product evaluate vias in an electronic design. One or more via sufficiency rules are formulated, and then the electronic design is processed to determine whether the vias of the electronic design violate the via sufficiency rules. In the event of a violation, one or more indicators are generated to identify vias that violate the via sufficiency rules. The indicators are visual indicators (e.g., via insufficiency DRCs) on a graphical user interface, and/or a textual report summarizing violations.

System and method for evaluating power and ground vias in a package design

A method and software product evaluate vias, per pad, in an electronic design. One or more via per pad rules are formulated, and then the electronic design is processed to determine whether the vias of the electronic design violate the via per pad rules. In the event of a violation, one or more indicators are generated to identify vias that violate the via per pad rules. The indicators are visual indicators (e.g., via per pad DRCs) on a graphical user interface, and/or a textual report summarizing violations.
