Introduction to PCB (Printed Circuit Board):
A basic PCB circuit consists of a very large number of
passive and active components.
All the components are connected from side to side with
traces on the board.
It is absolutely possible to develop very large circuits on
small printed circuit boards with the availability of very
small sized electronic component.

Types of PCB
As we discussed above the printed circuit boards are
electronic circuit
boards for mounting electronic components on a
nonconductive board, and for creating conductive
connections between them.
The creation of circuit patterns is accomplished using
both additive and subtractive methods.
The conductive circuit is generally Copper, although
Aluminium, Nickel,
Chrome, and other metals are sometimes used.
Depends upon the spatial and density requirement, and
the circuitry complexity determines the type of board
to be produced.
There are three basic variants of printed circuit boards
as below mentioned:
1. Single sided PCB: conductors on only one
surface of the dielectric base of the printed circuit
board.
2. Double sided PCB: conductor on both sides ofa
dielectric material and the layers interconnected
by plated through holes (PTH).
3. Multilayer PCB: conductors on three or more
layers separated by dielectric material and the layers
are interconnected by PTH or pads.

Advantages of PCB
1. Compact Size and Saving of Wire
2. Ease of Repair and Diagnostic
3. Saving of Time
4. Immune to Movement
5. Tight connections and Short Circuits Avoided
6. Low Electronic Noise
7. Low Cost (for mass production)
8. Reliability

Disadvantages of PCB
1. Single use boards: Printed circuit boards are designed
with single use in mind. If you want to modify the board
after it is printed, you won’t be able to and will need to
create a new board from scratch. However, the low
manufacturing cost may work in your favour if you need
to create a new board to replace the one that needs
modification.

2. Etching isn’t an eco-friendly process: Etching uses


chemicals that can produce a negative effect on the
environment. Although the etching process is great for the
board, it is not particularly good for the planet.

3. As the copper tracks are very thin they can able to carry
less current hence a PCB cannot be used for heavy
currents because in that case the strips will be heated up
and cause problems.
Introduction to tool used to design the
circuit:

We use the Express PCB design tool for making the circuit
that given to us by our professors.

ExpressPCB is CAD software that is used to create layouts for


printed circuit boards (PCB). The CAD is divided into the
more helpful category: • ExpressSCH is used to design the
schematics. The same schematic design software
(ExpressSCH) is included with both Classic and downloads.
