What is PCB “Printed Circuit Board” ?

PCB stands for “Printed circuit board”. On this board all the components
are soldered and interlinked by the copper tracks. The PCB can be a
single layer and can go up to many layers as a person want, but most of
the software support up to 14 layers.
Most commonly used PCB is a single sided PCB and the components
and conductors on different layers of PCB are connected with plated-
through holes called vias. PCB is designed in the software and then
software file is given to the manufacturer and the rest of the work is all
practical and not in the scope of this article. This article just covers how to
design a PCB of a specific electronic circuit in software.

and How to Program it?

Software Introduction:
Software which we are going to use in this tutorial is Labcenter
electronics release most commonly known as ARES PCB. This is fully
professional software. its student version is also available to download
free but with limited functionality.
This software support up to 14 layers of PCB and it is highly equipped

with all the modern tools which able to make an effective and accurate
PCB. We can change the width of tracks, pads according to the
application. Designers can design the custom board shape. The Output of
this software can have different format selectable by the designer e.g.
PCB can be exported in PDF, JPEG and lots of other formats.
Its library includes thousands of commonly and rarely uses through hole
and SMD devices. There is also a category for miscellaneous parts.
There is one more very useful tool available by which we can make
footprints of all the devices whom footprints are not available in the library
so we can say that this software covers all the needs of the PCB designer
and strongly recommended by the professionals.

Step by Step PCB Designing Tutorial: (in our example, we will use the
LED Flasher Circuit and design its PCB).
Note: it is considered that you have installed the software and have basic
knowledge of electronics.
Step1.
Click on this icon to run the software.
If you installed this software correctly then this window will appear on the
screen.
This black screen is the work place. All your PCB work will come here
and the blue dot which appear in the center of the black gridded screen
is the center of the work place.

Step 2.
Make a list of the components and devices according to your schematic /

electronic circuit.
Note: it is considered that you have already drawn an error free

schematic diagram of the circuit and you want to make the PCB Design of
that schematic circuit.
In this simple example of PCB designing, we are using the below

schematic. This is the basic Electronics LED flasher circuit with one LED
by using 555 Timer and other basic electronic components.( Detail of the
parts can be found in Step 3 ).

Project with it?
LED Flasher Circuit (We are going to design its PCB Circuit)
Step 3.
Now we have to find the parts. As you can see we need the following
basic electronic components for LED Flasher Circuit where flasher means
continuously ON & OFF.
1. 1) The base for 8 pin 555 Timer IC.

2. 3 Resistor of ¼ watt rating ( two are 1kΩ and last one is 10kΩ).
3. 2 axial capacitor (one is 10μF electrolytic and second one is 0.01μF
ceramic Capacitor).
4. 5 MM LED (Red Color).
5. Power connector.
6. 9V DC Battery.
Each of these parts can be searched by the category in which they fall.

Step 4.
Now click on this button on the left side vertical bar. When you scroll over
it shows package mode.
And when you click on the package mode on the white area you will see
two buttons on which “P” and “L” is written.
Step 5.
Now Click on “P”. When you click on “P”, New window will appear and on
that window you will find all the part.
As you can see there are categories and types. Selected the desired
category and then select the appropriate type and all the components
matching the above criteria is will show up in the white space as shown in
the above window.
Suppose, we want to search for the resistor of ¼ watt. We search that

part like this.
Step 6.
Select “RES40” because it is ¼ watt resistor.
Double click on that RES40 package and this package will be added to
the left side vertical white space where Packages is written on the design
window.
Like this one.
Now in the same way search of capacitor in the “type” menu and choose
“CAP20”.
Now we need 8 pin DIL (Dual in line package) for 555. Search it like the
previous components.
Now last thing you need is the power connector to connect the wires to
the board.
Step 7.
Once all the components are added now you can start routing the PCB.
Put all the desired components on the workplace like this.
Step 8.
Now you have to connect them according to the schematic.
For connecting all the components, you have to use the wire tool which is
available on the left side of the window in the vertical bar.
Step 9.

After selecting the track mode, now you can start routing. As you can see
the default pads are very narrow you have to choose the appropriate
pads for the components whom pads are narrow.
Choose pad Mode (As shown below).
Step 10.
After that, put the appropriate pad on all the narrow pad and then start
routing.
Step 11.
Connect the components according to the schematic.
In process …
Completed PCB Design of LED Flasher Circuit.
Step 12.
Now select the “board Edge” layer form the left bottom layer selecting
Drop down menu.
Step 13.
After selecting the board edge layer, draw a rectangle around your PCB
art work. This will be your PCB Board dimensions.
Select the rectangle from the left side menu.

Dear admin i want every new and old sort of question papers for the electricity board
exams and the books and concepts of electrical and electronics engineering.

There’s a mistake in your final design. 555 Pin 1 is supposed to be grounded(555 GND
pin), while pin 5 (555 CV pin) goes to ground via capacitor.
