Place the following components on the edge of the board:
  • Heat sink
  • On/Off switch
  • Power connector
  • Spring terminal block
Have switch near power connector
Have LED near switch
Place heat sink away from controls (fingers that will be manipulting them)
Put Iset and Vset pots near one another and in a row or column
Place components on 50 mil grid
Align adjacent resistors in rows and column
Each of the four mounting holes should be near one of the board corners
Board
Make the board outline rectangular
Board dimensions should be on 0.1" grid
Make the board outline as small as reasonably possible
Center mounting holes on 0.1" grid
Place mounting holes symmetrically
Route wires on 20 mil grid
Wires
Use 16 mil wires
Do not use the autorouter
Avoid routing wires between close pins
Avoid routing wires between 1206 pads

Avoid routing on the bottom layer
Use ground via's when convenient
Copper pours

Turn-in

This is an individual assignment. Note: Everyone has access to everyone else's folder - do not make this the primary repository for your schematic and layout. And do not copy anyone else's layout - I shouldn't even have to say this.

Print your layout as a PDF using the largest scale that allows your layout to fit on one sheet of 8.5x11 in landscape if you like. Make sure to have Visible Layers set to Preset_Standard as shown below. Upload the PDF to Canvas.
