Patent ID: 8676559

Claim:
A method for providing schematic reviews for high speed board designs, the method comprising: providing a schematic design; creating a complete net-list for the schematic design; enabling a schematic review platform that generates electronic circuitry component symbols required for a schematic review using a display window; extracting all power and ground nets by the review platform; extracting all symbol pin information and a datasheet for a corresponding symbol; selecting a symbol pin or signal in the display window for the schematic review, where the signal and the symbol pin are provided as pictorial representations in the display window; based on the selected symbol pin or signal, generating a window showing a block diagram showing actual connectivity of the selected symbol pin or signal selected from the created net-list; and selecting a symbol from the window showing the block diagram for displaying a link to a location where a corresponding datasheet for the selected symbol is stored, or opening the corresponding datasheet for viewing, wherein the schematic review is enabled based on selecting an icon, wherein the review platform provides for displaying the block diagram showing how the selected signal is actually connected to different components in an overall view comprising a plurality of shapes corresponding to each of the electronic circuitry component symbols.
