PCB Foundations

The Printed Circuit Board (PCB) is indeed the medium of electronic media. No matter what branch of electronics, such as wireless, chip design, system design, and even optical design, it is the PCB that makes these electronics a reality. This book details the design process for DFM (Design For Manufacturing), from the initial concept to the final manufacturing documentation. Knowing how this process works will enable you to navigate around the common pitfalls resulting in cost overruns, schedule slips, and the ever-daunting "death marches." It was written for all who are involved in the PCB process. Take a journey into an art that is as important as ever in the field of electronics.
