  1. Printed Circuit Board Design Sung Yeul Park Dept. of Electrical and Computer Eng University of Connecticut September 24, 2014

  2. What can you see from an electrical engineering perspective? 2

  3. Three Elements to be considered • Components : - How to select components? - What values are needed? - What kind of package will be? • Printed Circuit Board : - Schematic Design - PCB Layout Design - Prototype board • Case or Box for the prototype board : - Purchase or build by yourself 3

  4. Printed Circuit Board ? A printed circuit board (PCB) mechanically supports and electrically connects electronic components using conductive tracks, pads and other features etched from copper sheets laminated onto a non-conductive substrate. PCBs can be single sided (one copper layer),double sided (two copper layers) or multi-layer. Conductors on different layers are connected with plated-through holes called vias. Advanced PCBs may contain components - capacitors, resistors or active devices - embedded in the substrate.

  5. Printed Circuit Board Design A PCB as a design on a computer (left) and realized as a board assembly populated with components (right). The board is double sided, with through-hole plating, green solder resist and a white legend. Both surface mount and through-hole components have been used. 5

  6. Printed Circuit Board Design Schematic Design 6 PCB Layout

  7. Key terms for PCB design • Pads are where the components are soldered to the PCB. • Traces are the copper tracks that connect pads together. • Via are small holes through the board that link a bottom and top trace together electrically. Traces on the same layer cannot cross, so often, when you are laying out a PCB, you need to a signal to jump from one layer to another. 7

  8. Key terms for PCB design • Silk-screen refers to any lettering that will appear on the final board. • Solder-mask is a layer of insulating lacquer that covers both sides of the board except where there are pads. 8

  9. Multi-layer PCB design • 2 Layer PCB design: Top layer and bottom layer • 4 Layer PCB design: Top, Bottom, and two middle layers. 9

  10. PCB design procedure • Design specification • Circuit diagram • Schematic design  Select components Check the dimension  Build a footprint  Make a PCB library  Add parts • Export schematic design to layout design • Route all connection • Design rule check • Generate Gerber files and drill file and zip them • Upload zip file to PCB order website 10

  11. PCB Library design • Are you Ready to build a library? • Component datasheet • Dimension: mil (imperial unit) vs mm (metric) 1 inch =1000 mil, 1 mil = 0.0254 mm 1 mm = 39.3700787 mil DIP component and connector: 100 mil or 2.54 mm • Symbol in schematic vs Exact dimension in Layout • Pad number should be matched in schematic symbol and layout footprint 11

  12. PCB Library dimension example • Male header 12

  14. Tips for PCB design • Keep traces straight, • Try to avoid 90o turns use two 45o’s. • Double, even triple check layout, • Having a fresh pair of eyes look it over, • “measure twice, cut once” idea. • Trace thickness & spacing • Spacing of at least .010”, • 0.030” for In-house • ~0.025” per 1 Amp carrying lines, • Don’t use anything smaller than 0.010” for traces, • 0.030” for In-house milling. • Try to keep all connections on one side of PCB • Take into account component package 14

  15. Free PCB design program • EAGLE PCB Design Software: http://www.cadsoftusa.com/download-eagle/freeware/ • Express PCB: http://www.expresspcb.com/expresspcbhtm/download.htm • Free PCB: http://www.freepcb.com/ • Advanced Circuits: http://www.4pcb.com/free-pcb-layout-software/ 15

  16. Making PCBs • Layout your circuit / circuits • Check out http://www.expressPCB.com for some great tips on component layout and power distribution. • Layout is more of an art. • Tight spaces • Lots of connections • Make a 2 level board into a 3 level with vias 16

  21. PCB Design Assignment • Every senior design team need to design one printed circuit board during fall semester. • The number of components should be more than 10 components with connectors, surface mount components, through-hole components, and ICs. • The number of layers should be 2 or more. • Report due date is November 19th 2014 • Report: Schematic, Layout, and Free dfm Check result • https://www.my4pcb.com/net35/FreeDFMNet/FreeDFMHome.aspx 21
