PCB Design

What is the first step in PCB design

• Specification

• Schematic

• Manufacturing file

• Simulation

Select two types of board

• Single Sided

• Multi layer

• Through hole

• Surface mount

What is the first thing to consider when placing components?

• Size restrictions

• Heat/Thermal

• Top or bottom side

• Track width

Why is testing a simulation important?

• Saves money

• It's good fun

• Shows which components light up

What file type do you convert your schematic to?

• Gerber

• .cws

• .ms

• Rebreg

What sheets should you download before designing your PCB

• Data sheets

• Gerber sheets

• Circuit Wizard sheets

• Specification sheets

Tracks on a PCB should never cross

• True

• False

Where can you find a PCB

• Any electronic appliance

• Soft toy

• Chair

• White board

Is this an example of Through Hole or Surface Mount Technology

• Through Hole

• Surface Mount

Select two advantages of a well designed PCB

• Small and compact

• Reliable
