Abstract
An electronic device reads a layout file of a printed circuit board (PCB) to be manufactured from a storage device, obtains length information and section area information of copper cladding distributed on power source areas and ground trace areas in each of one or more layers of the PCB to be manufactured by analyzing the layout file, and calculates power loss in each of the one or more layers according to the length information, the section area information, a resistance value of the copper cladding, and preset parameters of a power supply module and an integrated circuit (IC) load to be located on the PCB. In response to a determination that the power loss in the layer exceeds a preset range, the electronic device indicates the locations of the power source areas and the ground trace areas of a layer in the PCB layout file which need to be redesigned.
