COMPUTING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CHECKING DISTANCES BETWEEN TRANSMISSION LINES AND ANTI-PADS ARRANGED ON PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD

摘要

A computing device and a method involves selection of one or more transmission lines from a printed circuit board (PCB) layout file, reading a transmission line from the one or more selected transmission lines, and determining neighboring anti-pads of the read transmission line in the PCB layout file. The computing device and method further determine an actual distance between the read transmission line and a neighboring anti-pad. If the actual distance is less than a preset standard distance, the computing device and method determine that the read transmission line and the neighboring anti-pad do not satisfy design requirements, and highlight the read transmission line and the neighboring anti-pad, to prompt a user to amend design of the read transmission line and the neighboring anti-pad.
