Running In-Design Checks

---

The in-design checks aim to provide hints to designers for multiple design guidelines or checks and helps in improving the efficiency of the design development cycle. Such checks help checking complex mixed-signal designs that have multiple voltage islands, an increased fusion of analog and digital blocks, more interfaces to check within analog blocks, an increased use of complex power distribution, different modes for achieving power savings, and the use of third-party IPs in various forms. You can also generate signal information for the design, which can be used as a good debugging aid to analyze different power domain crossings in a design.

In-design checks can be run on any physical design schematic having complete power connectivity. Designs that have the power connectivity introduced post the 1801 Import flow are also suitable candidates for running in-design checks.

The In-Design Checks functionality includes the following structural checks:

• Low power checks
  • Level Shifter Checks
  • Isolation Checks
• Bulk Checks
