PCB Layout Review, Live
Bring a board and your stack-up. We review return paths, decoupling loops, creepage and the two constraints that quietly cost you a respin.

A working session, not a lecture. Bring a layout you are not yet sure about and we will look at it together.
What we cover
- Return paths — where the current actually goes on your ground plane, and the cases where a split you did not draw is still there
- Decoupling loops — placing capacitors so they do something, and recognising the two-pin rows that look fine and are not
- Creepage and clearance — the constraints that decide whether the board passes certification or fails review
- Thermal — copper that looks adequate on paper and throttles in an enclosure
What to bring
A layout, a stack-up, and one question you cannot answer. A screenshot is enough if you do not want to share the source files.
Format
90 minutes: roughly 60 minutes of review across the attendees’ boards, then open questions. Recording is published afterwards on this page.
