Error Types Descriptions
Obsolete Circuit Models
This check will look for any circuit model that is now considered obsolete and recommend an different model to use. Typically these models issue a warning when simulated but the warning is easy to miss. As a designer you should decide if the obsolete model is okay to continue using in your design.
...
PDK Version Check
This checks for if there are any newer PDKs available for the existing PDK's in the project. The check goes through each existing PDKs one by one and then goes through the AWR PDK Availibility library in the vendor libraries and see if there is a newer version of the PDK available. Then it informs the user of the result. You need to have internet connection to run this check.
