FYS4260 2015 Lab Project Intro
FYS4260 Lab project:
Make your own PCB
• All the way from idea to an assembled, tested
and hopefully working hardware.

What is a PCB?
• A printed circuit board (PCB) mechanically
supports and electrically connects electronic
components using conductive tracks.
• Made up of a core material and alternating
conductive and non-conductive layers
laminated together.
What is a PCB?
• Components are soldered to pads on the
surface of the PCB.
• Using vias to connect the different conductive
layers.

What is a PCB?
• Made at PCB manufacturing houses, PCBs
range from very simple single layer boards to
complex high density boards with tens of
layers.
PCB build-up
• A pcb is made up of a core substrate and
one or more conductive layers
• On outer layers we add a solder mask to
protect the conductive layer and improve
soldering results.
• Notation layers can be used for adding text
and symbols on the board.
• The exposed copper has to be protected
from oxidation to allow for good soldering.

Example on stack-ups
OK, How to design a pcb?
• Use MS Paint? Draw by hand?
• Use a CAD software -> CadSTAR
• A CAD software links the schematic
representation of a circuit with the real
components used, and helps in designing the
pcb according to a given rule set.
• Start with the circuit design and schematic
capture.

Symbols
• The use of symbols increases the readability
of the design.
Simple schematics

How do we get from this graphical
representation to the real PCB?
PCB Library
• We need a library that maps the symbols to the real functional chip.
• A PCB library is a collection of parts, where each part has its own graphical symbol and a ”footprint” that the part is going to be soldered to.

Symbols
• Components with multiple functions can be
divided into separate symbols

Lab info
• Find/decide on a design you want to do.
• Make the schematics in CadSTAR.
• Route the design in CadSTAR PR Editor.
• Generate production files.
• The PCB is produced externally.
• Assemble the board at ELAB.
• Test the board, do modifications.
• -> Make it work!
Lab info
• Write a report.
• Oral presentation.
• Everyone does their own pcb!

Lab work
• At room FV204
• Approx 10 computers.
• We are available Mondays and Wednesdays
9-16, but the lab is open every day.
• It’s mandatory to show your work once a
week, preferably in the lab or by sending us
your design by email.
About the design
• Find a design you want to do!
• Ideas at www.discovercircuits.com
or pick one of these:
• ISM tranceiver
• Headphone amplifier

Custom design
• You can only use components that are
already in the course library. See parts.rep
• Other components will be considered, but
this has to be agreed on before the design is
accepted.
• ELAB is available for guidance.
• No microcontroller designs except for the
ISM tranceiver! (This can be extended, as long as the original
functions are not changed. But remember board space!)
About the circuit layout (pcb)
• Size 5x7cm
• Use ELAB components -> parts.rep
• Two layers
• Components only on top side
• Use default FYS4260 settings

Time scedule
• 26/1 – Deadline for project choice
• 23/2 – Deadline for delivering final
schematics
• 23/3 – Deadline for delivering final pcb
production files
• 27/4 – Assembly of boards at ELAB.
– Start 0900! Ends when your boards are working!
• 11/5 – Deadline for delivering project report
• 18/5 – Oral presentation
– 1015 at LilleFy.
Lab report and oral presentation
• The report should contain something about
your initial circuit design, placement, layout
and assembly. What went wrong, what did
you do to correct it?
• Oral presentation ~10 minutes.
• Prepare some powerpoint slides.
