Calibre Physical Verification Hacks	2021-09-14T11:30:11+02:00	false	true	calibre config verification

This is a list of 'modifications' to the standard Calibre verification flow I have used in the past to either modify the checks performed by Calibre or input data bases.

Extended Device Checks

NVA0.VAR_OVLP { @ Varactors / Tiles should not overlap
    VARi AND > 1
}

NVA1.Cu_PPI.TEAR { @  Shape of Cu_PP I pad (under PM2 area): tear shape required
  X0 = EXT Cu_PPIi <1 ABUT <125 INTERSECTING ONLY REGION
  X1 = EXT Cu_PPIi <1 ABUT <180 INTERSECTING ONLY REGION
  X2 = INT Cu_PPIi <1 ABUT <180 INTERSECTING ONLY REGION
  X3 = EXPAND EDGE (X1 NOT TOUCH INSIDE EDGE X0) BY 1 EXTEND BY 50
  X4 = EXPAND EDGE (X2 NOT TOUCH INSIDE EDGE X0) BY 1 EXTEND BY 50
  (X3 AND X0) OR (X4 AND X0)
}
