How to create a PCB layout

How to begin with a schematic design and create a PCB.


The printed circuit board (PCB) layout process is both an art and a science. If you give a schematic to 100 different engineers, you’ll probably get 100 different PCB layouts back, all with unique twists.

In this video, you see how to begin with a schematic design and create a PCB layout:

  • Defining the PCB shape - Specifying the dimensions of the board.
  • Placing components - Positioning each component to optimize both function and aesthetics.
  • Routing the wires - Discover options for routing the connections between components.
