Differential Net

Rule check for whether a specific net name string is used for differential net name.

Figure 1.

Item: Input item name.
Differential Net Group: Enter target differential net group.
Filter: Sets net name strings for positive/Negative signal of differential pair net. (Prefix/Mid-String/Suffix)
Component Group: Define component group that specific differential nets should be connected.
Signal Name: Upon selecting this option, DFE checks whether the filter string of the signal name of the pins connected to the specific differential pair nets match the net name filter string.
Composite Net: Upon selecting this menu, DFE use composited power net instead of single power net. Double-click the item field, then Composite Power Net dialog will be displayed.
Figure 2.
Passive Component: The DFE make composite net for which are connected through this passive component.
Pin Group Property: In the case of a passive component of 3pin or more, pin mapping information is required for composite. Set the Property Name with pin mapping information.
Exclude Net: Nets which should not be merged into composite net.
