pcb layout procedure
What is a good PCB layout procedure?
The situation.
Schematic completed.
Transferred to PCB (birds nest).
Now what?
1) Put the component with the most connections in the middle of the PCB (good for EMC)?
What if it is a connector that has a lot of connections (and can not be placed in the middle)?
Or Place the components in a logical order (easy for fault finding)
2) Does any body use “auto placement”?
What grid is it best to start off with?
Thanks in advance to all the replies.
