PCB Foundations - ISBN 9780998367095 (Preface)
Filling the Gaps of the PCB Design Process

Nine Dot Connects provides services within the PCB design flow, such as component library restoration, template and workflow development, high-speed/DDR layout, and PCB-related training.

When it became apparent to Nine Dot Connects that understanding the PCB design process was not obvious nor taught, we set out to create a training course to explain the PCB design workflow. The backbone of this new course was the training manual. Over time, the revisions and refinements of this training manual allowed us to publish PCB Foundations.

This book details the design process, from the initial concept to the final manufacturing documentation. Knowing how this process works will enable you to navigate 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.
