Abstract :
The computer-aided reliability diagnostic system (CARDS) is described. It is an expert-system-based electronics design rule checker that automatically identifies potential reliability and performance problems concurrently with the computer-aided design process. The integration of CARDS into the Mentor Graphics computer-aided engineering system is described
