Abstract
A printed circuit board and a power copper surface configuration method are provided. The method includes the following steps: configuring a first power supply component, a second power supply component, a power sink component, a convergence copper surface portion, a first grounding copper surface portion and a second grounding copper surface portion; determining whether currents of the first and second power supply components flow to the power sink component through the convergence copper surface portion; when the currents of the first and second power supply components flow to the power sink component through the convergence copper surface portion, determining whether the convergence copper surface portion conforms to a current balancing design of the printed circuit board according to at least one of first and second tolerable difference values and an average current. When the convergence copper surface portion conforms to the current balancing design, the method is ended.
