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.

A system and method for removing T-point elements with unused stubs from a printed circuit board (PCB) layout design obtains each signal line including one or more T-point elements in the PCB layout design, divides the obtained signal line into a plurality of lines according to the one or more T-point elements with unused stubs, and obtains properties of each of the plurality of lines. The system and method further deletes the original layout of the signal line and reconnects the plurality of lines according to the properties of each of the plurality of lines to generate a reconnected signal line, and outputs the reconnected signal line on a display device.

A circuit board includes a current balancing unit that receives a number of current values from ammeters. A minimum current value between the current values is determined by the current balancing unit. Resistance of one or more variable resistors of the current balancing unit is adjusted by the current balancing unit to make the current value from one or more the ammeters serially connected to the one or more the variable resistors to be substantially equal to the minimum current value.

A printed circuit board includes a signal layer and a reference layer. The signal layer is covered with copper foil. A circuit topology for multiple loads is set on the signal layer. The circuit topology includes a driving terminal, a first signal receiving terminal, and a second signal receiving terminal. The driving terminal is connected to a node through a first transmission line. The node is connected to the first and second signal receiving terminals respectively through a second and a third transmission lines. A difference between lengths of the second and third transmission lines is greater than a product of a transmission speed and a rise time of signals from the driving terminal. The reference layer is covered with copper foil, and arranged under the signal layer. A region without copper foil is formed on the reference layer, under the second transmission line.

A computing device and a method reads design standards of signal transmission lines in a printed circuit board (PCB) layout file, and determines a minimum reference length of line segments of the signal transmission lines from the design standards. The device and method then selects a signal transmission line from a circuit board, and computes an actual length of each line segment of the selected signal transmission line. If each actual length is more than or equal to the minimum reference length, the device and method determines length design of the selected signal transmission line satisfies the design standards. Otherwise, if any actual length is less than the minimum reference length, the device and method determines the length design of the signal transmission line does not satisfy the design standards.

In a method for verifying a printed circuit board (PCB) layout using a computing device, a PCB simulation file is obtained from a storage device of the computing device, and a PCB image is displayed on a display device according to the PCB simulation file. The PCB image includes multiple signal lines and switching voltage regulator nodes (SVRN). A SVRN to be checked is selected from the PCB image, and all signal lines around the SVRN are searched. The method calculates a layout distance between the selected SVRN and each of the searched signal lines, and generates a graphical window interface to position a signal line whose layout distance is equal to or less than the minimum distance. The method further modifies the layout of the positioned signal line to satisfy a layout design specification by increasing the layout distance to the minimum distance.
