New Book Examines Critical Need for Proper PCB Documentation

Bring your knowledge of PCB documentation into the 21st century with The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to… Documentation—the latest title in our educational library.
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.
When the PCB layout is finished, the designer is still not quite done. The designer’s intent must still be communicated to the fabricator through accurate PCB documentation. Documentation can be an error-prone task—one that may take up to 20% of the total PCB design cycle time. Many designers still utilize documentation strategies that date to the ‘80s and ‘90s. Mark Gallant of DownStream Technologies explains how today’s solutions can eliminate post-processing errors and speed up time to market.
Kelly Dack—CID+, CIT, EPTAC—said, “This book will teach you to save time and money, reduce frustration, and make your job easier.” This book is also a must-read for any PCB designers or design engineers who would like to adopt 21st-century documentation processes.
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… Documentation.

Rules of Thumb for PCB Layout
11/21/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007The dictionary defines a “rule of thumb” as “a broadly accurate guide or principle, based on experience or practice rather than theory.” Rules of thumb are often the foundation of a PCB designer’s thought process when tackling a layout. Ultimately, a product spec or design guideline will provide the detailed design guidance, but rules of thumb can help to provide the general guidance that will help to streamline the layout process and avoid design or manufacturing issues.

Flexible Thinking: Rules of Thumb: A Word to the Wise
11/20/2024 | Joe Fjelstad -- Column: Flexible ThinkingIn the early days of electronics manufacturing—especially with PCBs—there were no rules. Engineers, scientists, and technicians largely felt their way around in the dark, making things up as they went along. There was a great deal of innovation, guessing, and testing to make sure that early guidelines and estimates were correct by testing them. Still, they frequently made mistakes.
