Abstract
A method for validating the design of an electronic circuit uses a static checker tool to verify the circuit design against rules and attributes of the components of the circuit. A power intent of the circuit, pins for power, ground and data signal inputs and outputs for each component, and a model for attributes and parameters of the pins are defined. The attributes of the components are defined in terms of input and output voltages; input and output currents; input and output voltage, current and data signal timing; and input and output voltage and current ranges and tolerances. A netlist of interconnections representing the designed circuit is validated against the power intent and the model for the attributes. A report is output describing the validity of the circuit based on the compatibility of the netlist, the power intent, and the model for the attributes of the components.
