Very nice tutorial, also helpful to me as a refresher for quickly making a PCB in KiCAD

It's better to develop the habit of pouring a continuous ground plane on the bottom layer for two-layer PCBs and introduce it very early in the learning process. Here, however, it seems unnecessary for the board to work.

Many thanks for your educational content, especially for beginners like me! I guess the schematic was inspired by the reference design provided by the manufacturer, but I'd love to hear a brief explanation why a particular component is used (like you did for C3 and R1).
@PredictableDesigns14 сағат бұрын
Great feedback, and I'll be sure to more thoroughly explain each component. The only two components I didn't explain were the input and the output capacitors. Those serve a few purposes: they smooth out the voltages, they provide instantaneous current when there is a fast load change and the regulator can't respond fast enough, and they also stabilize the regulator which will oscillate without them. Capacitors basically just store energy.

I use EasyEDA and sometimes KiCad to stay versatile, but I love watching your videos to learn more about your design techniques. I especially enjoyed your course on designing from prototype to production. Honestly, I loved it and learned so much thanks to you. It has been a huge help in developing my products and understanding how to approach each step.

In terms of experience level as an experienced PCB design engineer: Middle guy is most experienced, followed by right guy, followed by left girl. All had functional designs, No.1 had a lot of wasted space, No.3 has a useless form factor, no.2 had a functional board with a useful form factor - mark of an engineer.

Generally you'll need at least a 4 year degree in electronics engineering to do circuit design. You can get jobs in PCB design sometimes with only a 2 year degree. Best of luck!

Thanks for this. Regarding U2 the ESD clamp diodes. From where did you get this design? Was this place because it is "good practice" or was it demonstrated to be both necessary and sufficient for ESD compatibility and to what ESD test? Another way to ask these questions is, by what test was this component , U2, justified?

You should always include esd protection on any pins that connect to the outside world.
