PCB DESIGN; PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD LAYOUT GUIDELINES, SOFTWARE, TRACE CALCULATORS, TUTORIALS, AND ASSEMBLY INFO

Focus:

Lazar Rozenblat offers an excellent guide to PCB design for the power supply designer . This section of his website covers guidelines for PCB layout, layout software, trace calculators, tutorials, and information on assembly. On the first page, he introduces the generic PCB design standard, IPC-2221A, and discusses issues such as how to determine spacing between traces and the principles underlying good PCB layout techniques. He then provides links for more detailed information on all aspects of PCB design. Some links go to pages he has written and some go to other resources. Some information cited on this page is generic, but much of it relates specifically to power supply design.

What you’ll learn:

• How to layout PCBs for power supply applications (overview and guide to resources)
• How to understand what standards govern spacing of PCB traces in power supply applications
• How to locate resources and tools for PCB design
