Dynamic impedance net generation in printed circuit board design
Dynamic electronic printed circuit board (PCB) design is provided. A test net on a PCB is dynamically created utilizing a first rule defining a net parameter and a second rule defining a padstack geometric parameter. A first evaluation of one or more nets having a first padstack is performed against the first rule. A second evaluation of both the first padstack and a reference padstack determined to be adjacently positioned to the first padstack is performed against the second rule. Based on the evaluations, a potential test net having a potential test padstack is dynamically selected from the evaluated nets. The selected potential test net is dynamically transformed into the test net. The dynamic transformation includes modifying the potential test padstack and/or the reference padstack utilizing the second rule. The dynamic creation of the test net improves the efficiency of electronic PCB design by mitigating time and footprint consumption.
