sbdwag Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Im working on a function generator using the max038 IC Picture below\The question is when I go to the board and auto generate the nets. Is there any tried and true way to place the components so as to minimize extranious routes along the circuit boardAlso below is a link to the above sch file if anyone is interested.http://www.wagsterstuff.com/photos/max038.zipRegardsDennis Waggoner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 When you go to the board layout, you will see all of the components connected together with air wires. By looking at these, you should be able to determine where the parts should be placed for the shortest wires. You can move them all around before routing.A tip: I usually try to place all of the ICs in the same direction so that it is easy to see if one is soldered into the board wrong from the pick and place machine. It also makes for a nicer looking board. This is also a good tip for hobbyists making boards with no silkscreen layer.MP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
