Features: PowerPCB 5.0 is the newly released circuit board design software by Mentor Graphics Inc. in the United States. This software has been widely applied in the field of electronic engineering and is one of the top EDA software tools today. It is suitable for beginners in electronic circuit design to self-study, as well as for reference for engineering technicians using PowerPCB for project design and students at colleges and universities. This book combines rich examples to comprehensively introduce the basic processes and application techniques of circuit board design using PowerPCB, as well as briefly introduces the methods of schematic design using PowerLogic. Through the content of this book, readers can master the use of PowerPCB and PowerLogic for electronic circuit design. In the final chapter, this book provides an example of circuit design for a JTAG debugger. It details the entire circuit design process, from component library creation, schematic drawing, circuit board layout to Gerber file output. By studying this example, readers can understand the key points of each step in the circuit board design process. The accompanying CD-ROM of this book includes schematic files (.sch), circuit board files (.pcb), and animated demonstration files (.avi) of the example operations, along with voice-over narration for the entire process. Readers can refer to and use these materials. This book is suitable for beginners in electronic circuit design to self-study, as well as for reference for engineering technicians using PowerPCB for project design and students at colleges and universities.
