Schematic-driven layout
open-in-new
<p> Schematic driven layout is the concept in <a href="/facts/Integrated_circuit_layout/96BnDlT2">integrated circuit layout</a> or <a href="/facts/Printed_circuit_board/muSR2p43">PCB</a> layout where the <a href="/facts/Electronic_design_automation/o4la3fmX">EDA software</a> links the schematic and layout databases. It was one of the first big steps forward in layout software from the days when editing tools were simply handling drawn polygons. </p>
