PCB Layout CAD : DRC/MRC Settings
Differential Pair
Configure Differential Pair settings.
By configuring Differential Pair Settings, you can configure "Differential Pair Routes", and after routing, you can adjust the Route Length from "Tune Differential Pair Route Lengths".
Gaps, Route Lengths, and Tolerance violations of differential pairs are verified in the DRC.
For more details about opening the DRC/MRC Settings screen, refer to About DRC/MRC Settings.
Setting Method
First, in Settings, there is an "Assignment" tab, "Net Pair" tab, and "Advanced Settings" tabs.
The "Advanced Settings" tab is used for configuring actual settings, and the "Assignment" tab is used for configuring which settings are assigned to which Net.
About the Work Procedure
STEP 1: Configure settings in the "Net Pair" tab
STEP 2: Configure settings in the "Advanced Settings" tab
STEP 3: Assign settings to the Net Class in the "Assignment" tab
The following will explain each setting tab.
