Re-use of legacy cores is common in mixed signal design, but with that comes special risks. An interface signal designed in a previous technology may randomly fail when used in a new process. A condition not explicitly simulated may trigger a floating gate...

In hand-crafted digital flows, electrical rule checking covers a wide range of applications. Keepers, aggressors, power domain crossings, even complex fanout calculations can all be done quickly on full chip netlists...
