PCB LAYOUT Technology EncyclopediaPCB LAYOUT Technology Encyclopedia1. Common errors in schematics: (1) ERC reports that the pin is not connected to the signal: a. The I/O attribute is defined for the pin when creating the package; b. The inconsistent grid attribute is modified when creating or placing the component, and the pin and the line are not connected; c. The pin direction is reversed when creating the component, and the non-pin name end must be connected. (2) The component runs out of the drawing: The component is not created in the center of the component library drawing paper. (3) The created project file network table can only be partially transferred to the pcb: Global was not selected when generating the netlist. (4) When using a multi-part component created by yourself, never use annotate. 2. Common errors in PCB: (1) Report that NODE is not found when loading the network: a. The component in the schematic uses a package that is not in the pcb library; b. The component in the schematic uses a package with a inconsistent name in the pcb library; c. The component in the schematic uses a package with an inconsistent pin number in the pcb library. For example, for a transistor, the pin numbers in sch are e, b, c, while in pcb they are 1, 2, 3. (2) When printing, it is always impossible to print on one page: a. The origin was not set when creating the pcb library; b. The components were moved and rotated many times, and there are hidden characters outside the pcb board boundary. Select to show all hidden characters, shrink the pcb, and then move the characters to the boundary. (3) The DRC report network is divided into several parts: It means that this network is not connected. Look at the report file and use the CONNECTED COPPER option to find it. In addition, remind friends to use WIN2000 as much as possible to reduce the chance of blue screen; export files several times and make new DDB files to reduce file size and the chance of PROTEL freezing. If you are making a more complex design, try not to use automatic routing. In PCB design, routing is an important step in completing product design. It can be said that the previous preparations are all done for it. In the entire PCB, the routing design process has the highest restrictions, the most delicate skills, and the largest workload. PCB routing includes single-sided routing, double-sided routing, and multi-layer routing. There are also two ways of wiring: automatic wiring and interactive wiring.
