Looking for PCB design information

[Sadlercomfort]

Hi guys,

I'm looking for some articles or reliable resources which explain how to design a professional PCB and good practices.

I need to research these for my project, so they need to be reliable but can't find anything.. there's a few books online but I can't buy them.

I've already searched our library.

Have you read this?

 

[Sadlercomfort]

Yeah, although the first link does provide some good design points.. i was looking for a more academic resource

You will have trouble finding it . Companies pay a lot of money for this sort of thing. I have been lucky to have been trained twice by the best in my opinion. Not saying I know everything, far from it. It depends if you want an EMC course or an IPC course. Do you have any particular questions?

That's right I have had trouble and I just wanted to know the basic principles. The most sensitive part of my circuit is the real-time-clock and the oscillator. But the ground planes are described in the datasheet. So really its just calculating traces widths and clearances.

I'll guess I'll have to stick with this resource:

I was going to do a project for PCB design a year or so ago. But some people on this forum think they know everything so I didnt bother. You can email me [email protected] if you have any questions. Do you have any Gerber I can see?

Yes, there are some who think they know everything.. Yet I enjoy electronics because there's always something new to learn

The PCB has already being designed, Constantine has made this for me recently on his thread.

It seems there is just enough information on here to explain the very basics, the author is a graduate so i guess the source is good after all.

P.S Very nice signature, there aren't enough that understand electron flow like this!

The author also wrote this: http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/tec...s-that-make-assembly-and-debugging-difficult/

Might be worth adding this to the resource

Ok if you have any questions let us know.
