Proposal for Printed Circuit Board Lab:

1. Objective:

The objective of a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) design laboratory for undergraduate students
is to provide hands-on experience and practical knowledge in the process of designing,
fabricating, and testing PCBs, which are integral components in electronics. The key
objectives include:

i) Understanding PCB Design Principles: Students learn the basics of PCB design,
including schematic creation, component placement, routing, and design rules for
manufacturability.

ii) Software Proficiency: Students gain familiarity with PCB design software tools
(e.g., Eagle), enabling them to create, simulate, and optimize circuit designs.

iii) Manufacturing and Fabrication: Students understand the PCB manufacturing


process, including material selection, layer stacking, etching, drilling, and
soldering techniques.

iv) Troubleshooting and Testing: Students develop skills in troubleshooting circuit


boards and using testing equipment like oscilloscopes and multimeters to verify
functionality.

v) Design for Reliability and Cost: Students learn how to optimize designs for
performance, reliability, and cost-efficiency, considering aspects like trace width,
power distribution, and component selection.

vi) Project-Based Learning: Through hands-on projects, students apply theoretical


knowledge to design, fabricate, and test functional PCBs for various electronic
applications.

2. Proposed Experiments to be conducted in the Lab:


i) Voltage Regulator using Zener diode
ii) Astable multivibrator using 555 timer
iii) V to I and I to V converter using OPAMP
iv) 7 bit PN sequence generator
v) PSK modulation
vi) DSB-SC Modulation and Demodulation
vii) PAM Modulation and Demodulation
viii) RC coupled Amplifier using BJT
ix) ASK Modulation and Demodulation
x) DC variable Power supply from 9 to 12 volt
xi) ATmega 8 based temperature and humidity sensor
3. Day wise schedule of PCB design Lab

Day1.Introduction to PCB and its application in industry. Introduction to Eagle software.


Showcase some single layer PCB to students.
Day2.Schematic andLayout preparation of the half wave rectifier circuit in Eagle software.
Day 3: DRC check and routing of the prepared layout. 3-D visualization of the board.
Day4. Pattern transfer of the layout on the PCB Board.

Day5. Drilling of PCB board and placing the components on the PCB by soldering. Testing
of the board.

Day6 to Day 8 Each student group is allotted different experiments. Students will design,
manufacture and test the PCB during this period.

4. Equipment ( hardware \ software) requirement with corresponding cost

5. Impact of the laboratory to improve employability quotient with justification:

The impact of a PCB laboratory on the employability of undergraduate students is profound,


particularly for those pursuing careers in electronics, electrical engineering, and related fields.
A PCB laboratory offers practical experience in designing, testing, and assembling circuit
boards, skills that are highly valued in today's technology-driven job market. A PCB
laboratory provides students with direct experience in working with circuit boards—critical
components in almost all electronic devices, from consumer electronics to industrial
machines. Students learn how to design, manufacture, assemble, and troubleshoot PCBs,
which are core skills for many roles in electronics and electrical engineering. Employers in
sectors like telecommunications, automotive, robotics, and consumer electronics prefer
candidates who already possess these practical skills, as it shortens the learning curve and
enhances productivity.
