PCB Design and Layout Fundamentals for EMC by Roger Hu Pdf

When designing an electronic circuit it is necessary to take a number of precautions to ensure that its EMC performance requirements can be met. Trying to fix the EMC performance once the circuit has been designed and built will be far more difficult and costly. There are a number of areas that can be addressed during the circuit design and PCB layout stage to ensure that the EMC performance is optimized: -PCB Circuit design -PCB Circuit partitioning-PCB Grounding-PCB Routing-EMC Filters-I/O Filtering and ShieldingBy adopting these precautions, the EMC performance of PCB layout can be greatly enhanced

PCB Design Guide to Via and Trace Currents and Temperatures by Douglas Brooks,Johannes Adam Pdf

A very important part of printed circuit board (PCB) design involves sizing traces and vias to carry the required current. This exciting new book will explore how hot traces and vias should be and what board, circuit, design, and environmental parameters are the most important. PCB materials (copper and dielectrics) and the role they play in the heating and cooling of traces are covered. The IPC curves found in IPC 2152, the equations that fit those curves and computer simulations that fit those curves and equations are detailed. Sensitivity analyses that show what happens when environments are varied, including adjacent traces and planes, changing trace lengths, and thermal gradients are presented. Via temperatures and what determines them are explored, along with fusing issues and what happens when traces are overloaded. Voltage drops across traces and vias, the thermal effects going around right-angle corners, and frequency effects are covered. Readers learn how to measure the thermal conductivity of dielectrics and how to measure the resistivity of copper traces and why many prior attempts to do so have been doomed to failure. Industrial CT Scanning, and whether or not they might replace microsections for measuring trace parameters are also considered.

Bogatin's Practical Guide to Prototype Breadboard and PCB Design by Eric Bogatin Pdf

Printed circuit boards (PCB) are at the heart of every electronic product manufactured today. Yet, engineers rarely learn to design PCBs from a class or course. They learn it by doing, by reading app notes, watching YouTube videos and sitting by the side of an experienced engineer. This book is the foundation building book for all engineers starting out to design PCBs. It teaches good habits designing a PCB, first for connectivity, and secondly, introduces the four most important principles to reduce noise. A seven-step process is presented: developing a plan of record, creating a Bill of Materials, completing the schematic, completing the layout, completing the assembly, conducting bring up and troubleshooting and documenting the project. Each step is developed in detail. In particular, the emphasis in this book is on risk management: what can be done at each step of the process to reduce the risk of a hard-error which requires a complete re-spin, or a soft error, which requires some sort of on-the-fly repair. After connectivity is designed, it’s important to develop good habits to minimize the potential noise from ground bounce, power rail stitching noise, stack up design and reducing switching noise in signal paths. These techniques apply to all designs from 2-layer to 8-layer and more, for bandwidths below 200 MHz. The best practices for manual lead-free soldering are presented so that everyone can become a soldering expert. The best measurement practices using common lab instruments such as the DMM, the constant current/constant voltage power supply, and oscilloscopes are presented so that common artifacts are minimized. Features in the design that help you find design or assembly errors quickly and the troubleshooting techniques to find and fix problems are introduced. Applying the habits presented in this book will help every engineer design their next circuit board faster, with less chance of an unexpected problem, with the lowest noise. This textbook will also have embedded videos to visually demonstrate many of the hands-on processes introduced in this book.

The Printed Circuit Designer's Guide To... Documentation by DownStream Technologies Pdf

When the PCB layout is finished, the designer is still not quite done. The designer's intent must still be communicated to the fabricator through accurate PCB documentation.Documentation can be an error-prone task-one that may take up to 20% of the total PCB design cycle time. Many designers still utilize documentation strategies that date to the '80s and '90s.This book, written by Mark Gallant of DownStream Technologies, explains how the automated documentation solutions of today can eliminate post-processing errors and speed up time to market.This book is a must-read for any PCB designers or design engineers who would like to adopt 21st-century PCB documentation processes.

Fundamentals of Layout Design for Electronic Circuits by Jens Lienig,Juergen Scheible Pdf

This book covers the fundamental knowledge of layout design from the ground up, addressing both physical design, as generally applied to digital circuits, and analog layout. Such knowledge provides the critical awareness and insights a layout designer must possess to convert a structural description produced during circuit design into the physical layout used for IC/PCB fabrication. The book introduces the technological know-how to transform silicon into functional devices, to understand the technology for which a layout is targeted (Chap. 2). Using this core technology knowledge as the foundation, subsequent chapters delve deeper into specific constraints and aspects of physical design, such as interfaces, design rules and libraries (Chap. 3), design flows and models (Chap. 4), design steps (Chap. 5), analog design specifics (Chap. 6), and finally reliability measures (Chap. 7). Besides serving as a textbook for engineering students, this book is a foundational reference for today’s circuit designers. For Slides and Other Information: https://www.ifte.de/books/pd/index.html

A Practical Guide to RF and Mixed Technology Printed Circuit Board Layout by Brendon Parise Pdf

Successful design of modern, complex mixed-technology printed circuit boards is an ever-evolving task. As technologies change, techniques employed by designers must evolve accordingly. The aim of this guideline is to ensure that designs are done as correctly as possible on the first attempt. Doing so has been repeatedly found to yield good results from simulations and testing, with minimal design modification required. Regardless of the mathematics and simulations that may be employed, strict adherence to best practices is most likely to make the board "just work".While much of this information is available from various sources, it is rarely consolidated into a single comprehensive guideline focused on actionable advice, as opposed to theory and mathematic formulas. Although some background theory is presented for certain topics, said theory is deliberately presented with minimal complex mathematics and theory when applicable. It's our hope that readers find the information both useful and easy to comprehend.

Secret Language of Animals by Janine M. Benyus Pdf

Unlock the secrets behind the behavior of the world's most fascinating creatures-from the Adélie penguin to the plains zebra to the giant panda-in this wonderfully written, beautifully illustrated book. In The Secret Language of Animals, biologist Janine Benyus takes us inside the animal kingdom and shows us the whys and the hows behind the distinctive behavior of creatures great and small in their natural environments. Divided geographically into five sections-Africa, Asia, North America, the oceans, and the poles-the book examines and describes the behavior, body language, and patterns of communication of 20 different animals: the gorilla, lion, African elephant, plains zebra, black rhinoceros, giraffe, ostrich, greater flamingo, Nile crocodile, giant panda, peacock, Komodo monitor, bottlenose dolphin, California sea lion, gray wolf, bald eagle, sandhill crane, beluga whale, polar bear, and Adélie penguin. For each animal, Benyus describes and explains basic behaviors (locomotion, feeding, drinking, bathing, grooming, sleeping), communication behavior (greeting, social play, group defense, conflict, aggression/submission, fighting, courtship, copulation), and parenting behavior (birth, care and feeding, teaching, communal care). The book is illustrated throughout with tender yet precise line drawings that beckon us to the animals and vividly capture everything from changing facial expressions to nurturing postures to playful and aggressive interactions. The text, too, is both intimate and informative, allowing for a deep connection with, and a great admiration for, each one of the animals.
