  • Learn how to use the layout tools in PCB design software to arrange components reasonably to meet circuit function and performance requirements.

5. Component connection and routing

  • Learn how to connect and route components on PCB boards to ensure smooth and stable circuit signals.
  • Master the basic rules and techniques of routing, such as avoiding crossing, reducing wire length, and considering signal integrity.

6. Design package and pin mapping

  • Learn how to create and edit component footprints to ensure they match actual component size and pinout.
  • Familiarize yourself with the footprint and pin mapping settings so that they match the components in the schematic.

7. PCB design specifications and review

  • Understand common PCB design specifications and standards, such as spacing, trace width, layer spacing, etc.
  • Learn how to review and verify PCB designs to ensure that the designs meet requirements and can be manufactured smoothly.

8. Output manufacturing documents and production

  • Learn how to generate manufacturing files for PCB boards, including Gerber files, drilling files, assembly files, etc.
  • Be familiar with the output format and requirements of manufacturing files so that they can be submitted to PCB manufacturers for production.

9. Practice and feedback

  • Practice drawing and designing PCB boards frequently to continuously accumulate experience and skills.
  • Based on actual cases and experience, constantly summarize and improve your own design methods and processes.

Through the above learning outline, you can gradually master the basic skills and knowledge required for PCB board drawing, so that you can independently carry out common PCB design work. Remember to continue to practice and learn, and constantly improve your design level.
