Printed Circuit Board (pcb): All You Need to Know

"A printed circuit board, or PCB, is used to mechanically support and electrically connect electronic components using conductive pathways, or traces, etched from copper sheets laminated onto a non-conductive substrate. Alternative names are printed wiring board (PWB),and etched wiring board." from Wikipedia - Printed Circuit Board. In its more pure form it is simply a normally flat plastic or ceramic substrate in which alternative layers of insulators and conductors are grown sequentially to form isolated conductive paths to transfer signals and current in and out of electronic components. |

PCB (printed circuit board) Layout and EMI (electromagnetic interference)
Submitted by John Artiuch on September 20, 2008.

PCB (printed circuit board) layout optimization to avoid EMI (electromagnetic interference). A PCB layout should not only strive to prevent the emission of noise but also have good noise immunity from outside sources. One should have an understanding of potential sources of noise and have a strategy for dealing with these problems. |

PCB layout
Submitted by Chris on January 24, 2008.
Printed Circuit Boards are primarily an insulating material used as base, into which conductive strips are printed. The base material is generally fiberglass, and the conductive connections are generally copper and are made through an etching process. The main PCB board is called the motherboard, the smaller attachment PCB boards are called daughter boards or daughter cards. PCB board design defines the electrical pathways between components.
Section II. PCB Layout Guidelines
Submitted by Chris on January 24, 2008.
This section provides information for board layout designers to successfully layout their boards for MAX® II devices. It contains the required printed circuit board (PCB) layout guidelines, device pin tables, and package specifications. This section includes the following chapters: Chapter 7. Package Information and Chapter 8. Using MAX II Devices in Multi-Voltage Systems. Refer to each chapter for its own specific revision history. For information about when each chapter was updated, refer to the Chapter Revision Dates section, which appears in the complete handbook.
