Chapter 2. An Overview of Circuit Boards and EAGLE Design
Before you start using EAGLE, you should have a basic understanding of printed circuit boards (PCBs)—what they are and how they’re constructed. This is a complex topic with many specialized concepts and terms, but I’ll assume you know nothing about them. Therefore, my goal in writing this chapter is to bring you up to speed.
The first part of this chapter provides a general overview of circuit board technology. It starts by explaining what PCBs are meant to accomplish and how this is reflected in their design. It explains the basics of PCB construction for single-sided boards, double-sided boards, and multilayer boards.
The second part of this chapter explains how PCBs can be designed ...
