PC Board Layout General Process

1 — Input netlist with two ways, first is using the OLE PowerPCB Connection function of PowerLogic, other one is load the netlist into the PowerPCB;

2 — Installation setting which should be set up during the process of schematic diagram magnification stage must in line withPC BOARD LAYOUT policy;

3 — PowerPCB provide two methods to execute the component Layout include automatic and manually;

4 — There are also two methods of PC BOARD LAYOUT, and they are automatic and manually separately, and the best combination of two methods is MANUAL—AUTOMATIC—MANUAL. During this process some issues need to be cautious include the power supply and ground wire should be as thick as possible; decoupling capacitance and VCC should be connected directly;

5 — Final step comes to the inspection process and the items include clearance, connectivity, high speed and plane, all of these items can be executed by choose and click: “ Tools->Verify Design”.

6 — Recheck is being viewed as a necessary step for PC BOARD LAYOUT and inspection items should include design rule, layer definition, line width and space, pad and via, also the component layout rationality and stability.
