Practice Making a PCB

This page contains a practice assignment for making a schematic and a pcb. Refer to the PCB_Artist tutorial for information on how to finish it.

We are going to make a leaky integrator schematic and pcb. You can read about leaky integrators here in the integrator section. This circuit will consist of 2 resistors, 1 capacitor and an op-amp (such as LT1001CN8).

Make the Schematic

Download and open Media:ME333_lab2_incomplete_schematic.sch in PCB artist. This schematic represents the following circuit:

File:Complete me333 schematic.jpg

But it is missing some components and traces. Use this Media:library.zip library to complete it. You will need to add a Op Amp? and resistor? and connect the traces from pins 1? to 2?.

Make the PCB

Now we will make the PCB of this circuit. To be sure we are on the same page, download the complete schematic [[Media:ME333_lab2_complete_schematic.sch] and incomplete PCB [[Media:ME333_lab2_incomplete_pcb.sch].

The finished board should look like this:

But it is missing some components? and traces? Fill them in.
