EMA Design Automation, an electronic design automation (EDA) solutions provider, has launched its new and free eBook titled, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to PCB Design". It is a much-needed resource for electrical engineers seeking to understand the complexities involved in PCB design.
Manny Marcano, president and CEO of EMA, the role of the electrical engineer in PCB design is changing. EE's are now being tasked with ownership of the full PCB design process from concept through manufacturing. Unfortunately, many of the skills and knowledge needed is not taught in the classroom leaving new engineers unprepared for the responsibilities being asked of them. The goal of this eBook is to empower the newer generation of PCB design engineers and enable them to take on this additional role knowing they have the foundation required to make sound design decisions.
“The Hitchhiker's Guide to PCB Design"?is a play off the original Douglas Adams novel and offers a cheeky, easy-to-understand dive into the PCB design and manufacturing process. The eBook takes the reader on the journey of Ian, a new EE getting his footing in PCB design. In Ian's first project, he makes some major mistakes which produces a design that cannot be manufactured. However, thanks to the input and advice of several industry veterans, Ian is given a crash course on how to design a successful, manufacturable board and assembly.
With over 100 pages of real-world, actionable tips from experienced industry professionals and several checklists, detailed graphics, and links to additional resources, engineers are provided with the foundational knowledge needed for design success, no matter what CAD software they may use.
The eBook will help engineers learn how to identify and communicate effectively with key stakeholders, set up a successful design workflow, and avoid common design missteps, addressing such items as:
