TPS62163: Ground Via Size Adjustment in Altium PCB Editor

Malek Bellaouar

Part Number: TPS62163

Tool/software:

Hello,

I am trying to solve this issue within the DRC for Altium PCB Editor (issue is this error: Routing Via Style: Via (1584.646mil,2601.541mil) from Top Layer to Bottom Layer Actual Size : 19.685mil Actual Hole Size : 7.874mil). Is there a way to edit the size of the ground via? I have attached an image below for a view of the via. I believe it's an issue with the wire being too large for the via. I was not able to find this option in the IC properties, and since I am using a TI template for the layer stack, it would not let me edit the wire size.

I would also like to add that in the constraints manager, it does not let me edit the hole size, wire size, or the routing via style.

Hi Malek,

You can unlock the primitive option in properties.

Then you can edit the hole side as below shown:

Thanks

Colin,

I tried this but I get the same error, along with the via minimum and maximum hole width and via width, as shown below. I tried changing the via width to 50mil and the hole width to 28mil, which resolved that error but posed another problem, which was that the ground pin overlapped with the pins around them. Is there a way to reduce the hole width and via width boundaries?

Routing Via (MinHoleWidth=28mil) (MaxHoleWidth=28mil) (PreferredHoleWidth=28mil) (MinWidth=50mil) (MaxWidth=50mil) (PreferedWidth=50mil) (All)
Routing Via Style: Via (1584.646mil,2601.541mil) from Top Layer to Bottom Layer Actual Size : 24mil Actual Hole Size : 12mil

Thanks,

Malek Bellaouar

Hi Malek,

You can change the rule of hole width and via width in AD.

Thanks
