    PCB ESSENTIALS

    Basic concepts in PCB Design


    A TOPOLOGY IS THE ARRANGEMENT OF THE POWER DEVICES AND THEIR
    MAGNETIC ELEMENTS.
    What is PCB?

     PCB is a copper laminated and non-conductive Printed Circuit Board


     all electrical and electronic components are connected together in one
    common board with physical support for all components with base of board
     When PCB is not developed, at that time all components are connected with a
    wire which increases complexity and decreases reliability of the circuit
     by this way we cannot make a very large circuit like motherboard
     It can be found in many electronics devices like; TV, Mobile, Digital camera,
    Computers parts like; Graphic cards, Motherboard
     medical devices, industrial machinery, automotive industries, lighting, etc
    TYPES OF PCB

     Single-Sided PCBs
     Double-Sided PCBs
     Multilayer PCBs
    Single-Sided PCB Double-Sided PCB Multilayer PCB
     Rigid PCBs
     Flex PCBs
     Rigid-Flex PCBs

    --adding package symbols
    --Creating Netlist
     Basic setup of constrains
     Layout
    --Placing components
    --Routing Traces
     Prepare for manufacture
     Generating Artworks(Gerber files)& Drill files
     Generating Documentation
     Submitting PCB files for fabrication
    NETLIST
    Basic board structure
    Multilayer PCB
    PCB materials
     FR4 (FIRE RETARDENT)
     Most common glass laminated material
     Based on woven glass-epoxy compounds
     Its provides good mechanical strength
     FR1-FR2
     Material Paper and phenol
     Used for only single layer PCB
     Polyimide
     Its used for flex PCB
     material is made from kepton, rogers, dupont
     Prepreg
     Prepreg means pre-impregnated
     Fiberglass impregnated with resin
     Prepreg has adhesive layer which gives strength similar to FR4

    Linear v/s SMPS
    LINEAR POWER SUPPLY
     Only step down applications
     This is done by operating a bipolar transistor or MOSFET pass unit in its linear
    operating mode
     headroom loss causes the linear regulator to only be 35 to 65 percent efficient
     Designing with a linear regulator is simple and cheap, requiring few external
    components
     Designing with a linear regulator is simple and cheap, requiring few external
    components
     The cost of the heatsink actually makes the linear regulator uneconomical above
    10 watts for small applications.
     Bulk in size, as compared SMPS
    Linear v/s SMPS
    SMPS
     Switching power supplies operate two efficient operating states: cutoff,
    saturation
     Switching power supplies are much more efficient, ranging from 65 to 95
    percent.
     Designing with a linear regulator is simple and cheap, requiring few external
    components
     Design is complex
     High frequency switch elements exist, It required filters
