How to create a schematic

The electronics design process is split into two distinct design stages, the schematic design and printed circuit board (PCB) layout. See how to work on the schematic design portion of the process.


The electronics design process is split into two distinct design stages, the schematic design and printed circuit board (PCB) layout. The schematic design serves as the blueprint or logical representation of an electronic circuit. It defines how all of the components are connected together, but not how they are physically placed on a circuit board.

In this video, you see how to work on the schematic design portion of the process:

  • Place components - Selecting and positioning the components of the circuit.
  • Manipulate components - Adjusting components for functionality and efficiency.
  • Wire the schematic - Establishing the connections between each component.
  • Add power - Efficient ways to handle power distribution.
  • Define values - Assigning specific values to components.
