    摘要: A method for checking power errors in an ASIC design is disclosed. The method includes providing a power checker software program with one or more power checker modules that each check a particular type of power element in the ASIC design. A power checker database is created that stores the following: individual power elements in the ASIC design, a connectivity graph of the power elements, and location bins corresponding to physical areas in ASIC design that identify the power elements that are located within each area. The method further includes providing a user with a choice of which power elements in the design to check, and executing the power checker modules corresponding to the selected power elements in order to check for errors in the selected power elements. Finally, any detected errors are output for the user.
