  • Identification of key errors in a system having a large number of error events
    Patent number: 11385986
    Abstract: A report of results of validating a circuit can simplify a large number of error events, that can be generated when designing electrical circuits using computer aided design tools, by first filtering the large number of error events according to a user defined filter criteria. The filter results are processed by one or more report rules. Each of the report rules may generate one or more report results based on, at least, the filtered error events.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 31, 2017
    Date of Patent: July 12, 2022

  • Circuit validation for circuits comprising multiple possible variants for individual components
    Patent number: 10929582
    Abstract: Circuits may be designed using computer aided design tools and may comprise a plurality of different possible variants of individual components. These multi-variant component circuits may be validated to identify potential problems by generating an aggregate parametric model for the multi-variant components and then using the aggregate parametric model in applying tests to different connection networks of the circuit definition.
