This rule checks for the connectivity of components that have polarities.
The Polarity DFE rule checks for the connectivity of capacitors or diodes that have
polarities. Polarized components, such as electrolytic capacitors and diodes, have a
characteristic of one directional current flow. The unidirectional behavior provides
variety of useful functions in electronics design. For example, power supply
filtering, AC/DC filtering, extracting modulation from radio signals, and so on.
However, reversing the current flow may result in damaging the component or causes a
circuit malfunction. Figure 1.
