Introductory PCB Design Tutorial Circuit Diagram STEP 3 — PCB Layout Design. System / Preliminary Design. When developing a new circuit design the first step is the high-level system design (which I also call a preliminary design). Before getting into the details of the full schematic circuit design it's always best to first focus on the big picture of the full system. Figure 3: Routing the PCB (black traces on the top layer, gray traces on the bottom layer). When routing on a PCB you want to minimize the length of each trace as much as possible. A Microcontroller is an IC (integrated circuit) known as the brain of many embedded systems and electrical gadgets. This article gives a detailed introduction to Microcontrollers, gives some tips on Microcontroller PCB design, and shows you how to design a Microcontroller PCB.
What is a PCB and Intro to PCB Design Printed circuit board (PCB) design has grown into its own specialized field within the electronics industry. PCBs play an important role in that they provide electrical interconnections between electronic components, rigid support to hold components, and a compact package that can be integrated into an end

For advanced microcontrollers, data sheets and technical documents alone can be hundreds of pages long. Before starting to design the circuit, it is best to draw a flowchart of the operation of all the main components in the topic, including all peripheral devices that have an interface with the microcontroller. The STM32 is a powerful 32-bit Cortex-M microcontroller that is extremely common in embedded applications. In fact, it's one of my favorite microcontrollers, especially for non-wireless commercial product applications. They come in a wide variety of flavors from simple versions with only a few pins all the way up to advanced high-performance versions capable of complex tasks like machine
This guide will detail how to go about designing a multilayer PCB, using a microcontroller dev board as an example. I used KiCAD 5.0, which is a free and open source EDA tool, for creating the schematics and PCB layout for this dev board. while high speed and RF designs necessitate more intricate PCB design with a more strategic PCB stack
