Title: Checks prior to Tape out
Post by Faisal on May 3rd, 2006, 5:37am

I have designed a switched capacitor amplifier to be used in the ADC. I would like to know about the manual checks prior to tapeout, which the DRC does not perform. for instance

1) Electromigaration (Current Densities and/or Via Densities)
2) Latchup.

Any other things that one need to know of ??

how about an ESD review, especially if you are connecting to pads...
