Abstract
A method is provided for evaluating signal deviations in an electronic design (e.g., a package design), including the steps of: formulating one or more signal deviation rules; processing the electronic design to determine whether the signal deviations violate the signal deviation rules; and generating an indicator (e.g., a DRC and/or report) associated with the electronic design to identify violated signal deviation rules. Processing of the electronic design may be scoped according one or a group of signal nets.
