A printed circuit board turns separate parts into a stable system that powers up, talks to peripherals, and survives real ...

There are a few basic steps to making a PCB. First is designing the board in Eagle or KiCad. The next step, putting the design into copper, has a lot of techniques to choose from.

These are the best free PCB (Printed Circuit Boards) Design Software for Windows 11/10 PC users to create, analyze, and study circuits.

In Part 1, we’ll discuss some general recommendations for designing PCBs that use motor-driver ICs, which require special cooling techniques to handle the power dissipation.

As data rates soar into the multi-gigabit range, high-speed digital (HSD) PCB design is no longer just about connecting the ...

A step-by-step guide to circuit board design with information suitable to beginners and graduate-level users.

This article presents a practical approach to the layout design of mixed-signal boards, discussing component placement, board layering, and ground-plane considerations.

A PCB is more than just copper, of course, and the properties of the substrate have to be taken into account when designing these elements. To demonstrate this, [FesZ] used an online tool to ...

A significant challenge in power supply design is creation of the PCB layout. Until today, design engineers relied on application notes, manual copying of reference layouts and their own judgment to ...
