PCBLayout
PCBLayout, short for printed circuit board layout, is the process of translating an electronic circuit schematic into a physical board layout that can be manufactured. The goal is to place components and route copper traces to meet electrical, mechanical, and thermal requirements while considering manufacturability.
The workflow typically begins with schematic capture and the assignment of footprints to components. Then the
Simulation and analysis tools, such as signal integrity and thermal modeling, may be used. The final outputs
PCB layout is iterative; designers revisit routing, placements, and constraints after prototyping and testing to address
