Effective PCB layout requires strategic placement of components to manage heat dissipation, minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensure signal integrity, and meet regulatory standards, while balancing manufacturability and cost.
In PCB reverse engineering, reconstructing the schematic involves dividing functional areas, identifying reference components, distinguishing different wire types, learning from similar designs, and reviewing the final schematic for accuracy and optimization to ensure it reflects the circuit’s operational principles.
PCB design software, such as the Altium Protel series, has evolved significantly over time, offering integrated tools for schematic design, PCB layout, and circuit simulation, with widespread adoption in China despite challenges like piracy and resource demands.
