There are a few things you’ll want to keep in the back of your head while you go about transforming your schematic into a physical board layout, including: PCB Layout is an Art Where do you start with all of this? You’ll need to place all of your components first. Many engineers see the PCB layout process as more of an artform.
If you give your schematic to a hundred different engineers, then chances are you’ll get a hundred different board layouts back all with their unique characteristics. Unlike a schematic design, which is all grounded in the finality of mathematics, your PCB layout is a bit more fluid and flexible. People can get pretty creative with just some mere traces and vias. ( Image source)īecause of this, you have to remember one thing when doing your PCB layout – there’s no right or wrong way to do it. How you choose to place your components and complete your routing is all a unique representation of your design perspective. For some, this might be a bit overwhelming at first, which is why we’re going to stick with a very simple design in this blog. We’ve only got a handful of components to place, so you can take your time to place, replace, and probably do it all over again. Just get comfortable with the whole process.
You Need to Think About ManufacturingĪt the end of the day, you are likely designing a PCB to have it made physically by your manufacturer.
