Abstract:
A printed circuit board wiring configuration analysis system for analyzing a wiring configuration, comprising:an object determination unit for determining if there exists a high speed signal wiring, said determination being made after identifying a pair of a driver and a receiver; a wiring segment identifying unit for identifying a wiring segment that is nearest to said board edge from a group of segments; a plane edge identifying unit for identifying a plane edge that is nearest, in a perpendicular direction, to a wiring between the driver and the receiver of said segment; a unit for determining a perpendicular distance between the wiring segment extending from the driver to the receiver and said plane edge; a unit for computing a minimum interlayer distance required between a wiring layer of said segment and a layer of said plane; a distance determination unit for comparing said perpendicular distance determined and said interlayer distance computed; and thereafter, automatically identifying any segments that are not desirable.
