Information Required for PCB Layout Checklist

( Constraint Drawing

Board outline illustrating the location of all fixed component coordinates.

IE: Mounting Holes, Connectors, Switches, Potentiometers, etc.

Note: The CAD origin, (X=0, Y=0) should be in the lower left corner of the board.

( Netlist

PADS format netlist including a decal list of all the library landpatterns. The header at the top of the netlist should be: !PADS-POWERPCB-V4.0-MILS!

( Data Sheets

Physical description data sheets, from the component manufacturer, of all the component decals that are not in your Libraries. Only mechanical data is required, IE: pin spacing, lead size or drill size, pin numbers & silkscreen shape dimensions.

( Connector Pin Assignments

Identify where is pin 1, pin 2, pin 3 the last Pin etc.?

( Schematic

Need schematic to debug the netlist if “one pin nets” occur or if only one pin of a two pin part is in the netlist. Schematic is also used to place components.

( Part Placement

Pencil sketch of suggested component placement layout of major components.

( Trace Routing Rules

Clock, ECL or High Speed trace instructions including net names and trace widths. What needs to be hand routed and what can be autorouted.

( Power Planes

Power and Ground Plane instructions including bypass capacitor fanout, BGA & QFP fanout. If there are multiple nets on the same layer, need split plane information.

( Silkscreen Legend

Silkscreen text identification requirements including copyright, board name, part number, revision level, connector ID’s, reference designator rotations and polarity markings.

( Manufacturing Information

Special fabrication notes, layer construction and panel information. Special assembly notes and drawings that illustrate special assembly information.

PADS SOFTWARE DECAL LIST DEFAULTS

NOTE: To prevent a designer from editing engineering decal lists, obey the following:

1. Reference Designator Names have a 15 character limit.

2. Decal Names have a 40 character limit.

3. Illegal characters for decal names are * < > ? : . , Avoid \ / because Unix systems do not accept these characters.

4. Lower case characters are allowed but pads will convert them to upper case.

5. Decal list must be in PADS format. TANGO format Decal List is not acceptable.

6. Decal list header should be: !PADS-POWERPCB-V4.0-MILS!

*PART*

7. Netlist footer should be: *END*

8. SAMPLE DECAL LIST: !PADS-POWERPCB-V4.0-MILS!

*PART*

U1 SO14

U2 PLCC-52

U4 DIP16

C1 CC1206

Y1 XTAL14

*END*

9. File name suffix default is .ASC in PowerPCB, but .net is acceptable.

10. If a decal is not in the library put “SEE DATA SHEET” in place of the decal name. Be sure to put the reference designator on the component data sheet, especially if there is more than one Library part to build.

11. If a new decal has alphabetical pin numbers, be sure that the data sheet clearly defines the pin numbering assignments. Example: Transistors with Base, Emitter and Collector.

12. If the Decal List & the Netlist are in the same ASCII file, break them into 2 files. Always ASCII IN the Decal List first, and trouble shoot and fix the errors. Then ASCII IN the Netlist.

13. BGA row and column count limit was 45 x 45 pins in Version 3.0.

PADS SOFTWARE NETLIST DEFAULTS

NOTE: To prevent a designer from editing engineering netlists, please obey the following rules:

1. Reference Designator Names have a 15 character limit.

2. Pin Names have a 7 character limit.

3. Netnames have a 57 character limit.

4. Illegal characters are * < > ? : . , Lower case characters are not allowed. Avoid \ / because Unix systems do not accept these characters.

5. Please use the abbreviation rather than the full name IE: use K, not CATHODE. Use A, not ANODE. All new library decals with special alpha pin numbers (IE: NO & NC for switches) must be clearly noted on the data sheet that will be used to create the library decal.

2 & 3 pin devices with alphabetical Pin Names are as follows:

DIODES CATHODE = C

ANODE = A

TRANSISTORS BASE = B

EMITTER = E

COLLECTOR = C

POWER FETS SOURCE = S

GATE = G

DRAIN = D

POTENTIOMETERS CW = 1

WIPER = 2

CCW = 3

CAPACITORS & POSITIVE = 1

BATTERIES NEGATIVE = 2

6. PADS format netlist is preferred.

7. Netlist header should be: !PADS-POWERPCB- V4.0-MILS!

*NET*

8. Netlist footer should be: *END*

9. SAMPLE NETLIST: !PADS-POWERPCB- V4.0-MILS!

*NET*

*SIG N00001

U1.1 C1.1 R1.1

*SIG N00002

U1.2 R1.2

*SIG GND

U1.7 C1.2 U2.7 C2.2

*SIG VCC

U1.14 U2.14 C2.1

*END*

10. File name suffix must be .ASC if you are using PowerPCB.

PADS SOFTWARE REF DES RENAME LIST

1. Engineer should specify at the beginning of the design, if the reference designators are to be renamed.

2. Engineer should specify the direction of the rename.

Examples: Top to Bottom, Right to Left

Left to Right, Top to Bottom

3. Engineer should specify any Reference Designators that are not to be renamed.

4. If the engineer is extremely concerned about the flow of the renaming process, a WAS/IS List should be manually generated by the creation of an ASCII text file.

EXAMPLE:

*PADS-ECO*

*RENPART*

U12 U1

U5 U2

U1 U3

C9 C1

C6 C2

*END*

NOTE: *PADS-ECO* should be located in the 1st line of the ASCII text file.

*RENPART* should be located on the 2nd line.

*END* should be at the end of the file.

262. Note: If you do not like using Notepad as a text editor you can change it to WordPad by calling out write.exe when installing PowerPCB.
