Brown-out risk at an input

warning
voltage/under-input
What it looks like
VIN can sag to 9 V but U2.vin needs at least 10 V — fine at nominal, brown-out at the bottom of the range.

What it checks

The mirror of over-voltage: each net's worst-case LOW voltage against each pin's declared minimum. A supply declared 9–18 V is checked at 9, not at its nominal.

Why it matters

Designs that only work at nominal voltage fail in the field at the bottom of the range — cold batteries, long cables, brownouts. The symptom is the worst kind: intermittent resets that never reproduce on the bench.

How to fix it

Raise the source's minimum (different supply, shorter cable run, bigger battery), lower the part's requirement (an LDO with less dropout), or add headroom with a boost stage.
