Abstract
The use of a netlist or other database containing topological information of an electrical circuit comprising a multiplicity of components which are to undergo safe operating area (SOA) checking, permits a relationship between recorded SOA errors to be established. Knowing how such errors may be interdependent can assist designers in deciding which errors should be rectified first. The relationship between the recorded errors relating to two connected components may be modified by a confidence factor based on elapsed time between the occurrence of the two recorded errors.
