PCB Design
Welcome to PCBDesign.org, the internet's ultimate resource offer a pcb design guide to help you get started today with your first printed circuit board design.PCB Design can be frustrating, time consuming, and very difficult to figure out where to start. We've broken pcb design into 3 sections: schematic capture, pcb footprints, and pcb-layout. These 3 sections will provide you with the resources needed to tackle your first printed circuit board design. Our pcb design guide will also help you figure out which is the best pcb design software to use, whether your project is a hobby or a commercial product. If you've run out of time and looking for a pcb design service we can also help you navigate that process.
What is Schematic Capture?
Simply defined, schematic capture is the process by which a designer captures a circuit design electronically. The main purpose of a schematic, related to pcb design, is the creation of a netlist. This netlist, a text file which interconnects every component on the schematic, is the back bone of the printed circuit board design process. Read the Article »
Understanding Electrical Clearances
If you’re looking for a more practical use of electrical clearances read the Laying Tracks article. It should clear that air on how to apply the proper clearances on the majority of traces used during a printed circuit board design. However, if you’re looking for some tips on how to deal with some high voltage traces then read on.

PCB EMC Design
EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) breaks down into to major categories. Emissions and Susceptibility. EMC Emissions are the radio waves that are transmitted by your board or product, through the air or along the power cord and back into the real world. Ever wonder why you’re asked to turn off your cell phones and all portable electronic devices before plane leaves the tarmac?
