Tips for industrial PCB design layout

  1. Function partition: Clearly partition circuit modules with different functions to make the layout clear and facilitate debugging and maintenance.
  2. Signal flow direction: Arrange components rationally according to the signal flow direction, and try to keep the signal path direct and short, and reduce turning and crossing.
  3. Power supply and ground wire: Plan the wiring of the power supply and ground wire well to ensure stable power supply and low impedance of the ground loop.
  4. Priority of key components: Give appropriate positions and spaces to key components such as those with large heat generation and sensitive to signals.
  5. Spacing control: Keep sufficient spacing between components to avoid interference and facilitate operations such as soldering.
  6. Isolation of analog and digital parts: If there are analog and digital circuits, try to place them in isolation to reduce mutual interference.
  7. Heat dissipation consideration: Arrange heat dissipation paths near heating elements, such as reserving the installation position of heat sinks or designing heat dissipation holes.
  8. Connector layout: Facilitate external connection, and consider the convenience of plugging and unplugging in actual use.
  9. Consistency of component direction: Try to keep the direction of similar components consistent to enhance the regularity of the layout.
  10. Shielding and isolation: Conduct appropriate shielding or isolation design for parts that are susceptible to interference.
  11. Testability design: Reserve test points to facilitate subsequent circuit testing and fault diagnosis.
  12. 3D space utilization: Consider the height of components and rationally utilize the three-dimensional space of the circuit board to avoid interference between components.
