Printed wiring board design method, program thereof, recording medium storing the program recorded therein, printed wiring board design device using them and cad system

Abstract

A printed wiring board design method including the steps of designing placement and wiring for circuit components based on circuit information on a mounting surface of the board; excluding a placement region and a wiring region for the circuit components from the mounting surface to thereby calculate a placement and wiring enable region for an EMC component in which the EMC component can be placed and wiring can be laid down; and calculating the placement and wiring range for the EMC component based on an EMC design rule from the calculated placement and wiring enable region for the EMC component, thereby providing a printed wiring board design method in which a placement of and wiring for a new bypass capacitor or the like can be implemented and a region satisfying restraint items from the design rule can be clearly displayed as a new input enable region on a CAD screen.
