Progressive verification: a practical and effective approach to PCB design verification 

Navigating the maze of PCB design verification can be a daunting task for design teams, with challenges ranging from meeting requirements to managing resources efficiently. The process includes various verification tasks, from basic rule-based checks to detailed vendor-specific component models, all while under pressure to meet tight project deadlines and ensure the reliability and manufacturability of the final product.

Current verification methods often fall short due to reliance on external experts, leading to increased costs and delays, or overloaded in-house specialists causing delays and inconsistencies. Traditional methods lack scalability and efficiency, relying on manual inspections and time-consuming analyses, potentially overlooking errors and impacting the overall quality and reliability of the design.

Introducing the progressive verification strategy

The progressive verification approach offers a dynamic and strategic method of managing verification tasks, which is also fully scalable. By categorizing tasks into quick, intermediate, and complex levels, design teams can efficiently resolve issues and ensure that only the most challenging problems are escalated to SI experts.

In this eBook, you will learn:

• Why simulations don’t always have to be 100% accurate
• How to prioritize verification components for success
• Which errors and failures can be swept off the table by PCB design teams
• How the HyperLynx flow implements the progressive verification approach
