PCB Design - Design Review and Testing

Given a PCB 3D clearance check script snippet:

setClearanceDistance(0.5);
checkClearance();
return clearanceStatus;

What is the expected output if two components are 0.3 mm apart?

AclearanceStatus = false

BclearanceStatus = true

CclearanceStatus = error

DclearanceStatus = null

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand clearance distance setting
The script sets minimum clearance to 0.5 mm.
Step 2: Compare actual distance to minimum
Actual distance is 0.3 mm, which is less than 0.5 mm, so clearance fails.
Final Answer:
clearanceStatus = false -> Option A
Quick Check:
Distance less than minimum = clearanceStatus false [OK]

Quick Trick: Clearance fails if distance < set minimum [OK]
