New eBook Explores Tips for Executing Complex PCB Designs
April 12, 2019 | The I-Connect007 TeamEstimated reading time: 1 minute

I-Connect007 is excited to announce the release of the latest title in our educational library: The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to… Executing Complex PCBs.
The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to… is an ongoing series specifically dedicated to educating printed circuit board designers and serves as a valuable resource for people seeking the most relevant design information available. Written by Scott Miller, COO of Freedom CAD Services, this book provides a set of guidelines for designing the most complex, high-speed circuit boards.
Designing a complex circuit board today can be a daunting task. Never before have PCB designers on the cutting edge faced more formidable challenges, both electrical and mechanical. Miller and his veteran PCB design team share real-world examples to help designers sharpen their game, from the planning stages and schematic capture through documentation and successful data handoff.
“At a time when the electronics industry is taking large leaps forward, this is a book for anyone working with PCB design and its countless and ever-changing steps, and will be the go-to reference for all of our designers at Legrand North America,” said John R. Watson, CID and senior PCB engineer.
Readers will learn how to design complex boards correctly the first time, on time. This book is a must-read for anyone designing high-speed, sophisticated PCBs.
Download your free copy today! You can also view other titles in our full library.
We hope you enjoy The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to… Executing Complex PCBs.

Target Condition: The 5 Ws of PCB Design Constraints
07/29/2025 | Kelly Dack -- Column: Target ConditionHave you ever sat down to define PCB design constraints and found yourself staring at a settings window with more checkboxes than a tax form? You’re not alone. For many designers—especially those newer to the layout world—the task of setting up design constraints can feel like trying to write a novel in a language you just started learning.

Creating a Design Constraint Strategy
07/24/2025 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamMost designers learn how to set their design constraints through trial and error. EDA vendors’ guidelines explain how to use their particular tools’ constraints, and IPC standards offer a roadmap, but PCB designers usually develop their own unique styles for setting constraints. Is there a set of best practices for setting constraints? That’s what I asked Global Electronics Association design instructor Kris Moyer, who covers design constraints in his classes.
Elementary Mr. Watson: Closing the Gap Between Design and Manufacturing
07/23/2025 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonModern PCB designers are not merely engineers or technicians. I believe that PCB design, at its core, is an art form, and modern PCB designers should be considered artists. Beyond the technical calculations and engineering rules lies a creative process that involves vision, balance, and a passion for what we do. Like any artist who works with brush and canvas or chisel and stone, a PCB designer shapes invisible pathways that bring ideas to life. Each trace, layer, and component placement reflects thoughtful decisions that blend form, fit, and function.
