QuERC, a proprietary electrical rules checker, examines the bias conditions as provided by the simulator. Using a database of process and device limitations, QuERC identifies potential design problems early in the development process. QuERC checks for:
Junctions biased above breakdown
Transistors biased in saturation
Transistors biased in region of low fT
Excessive power dissipation
Excessive device current
Incorrect device polarity
Substrate not at lowest voltage
Resistor bias modulation
