PCB Design for Embedded Projects: Practical Guide to Schematic, PCB Layout, and Manufacturing for Microcontrollers
Designing a PCB for an embedded project shouldn’t feel like gambling with your time and money.
Yet too many engineers, students, and makers discover problems only after the boards missing grounds, noisy power rails, unstable clocks, and designs that are impossible to debug.
PCB Design for Embedded Projects is a no-nonsense, real-world guide to building reliable microcontroller-based hardware—from first idea to manufacturable board.
Written by an engineer with over 15 years of hands-on experience shipping products across consumer, industrial, and high-reliability applications, this book focuses on what really matters in practice: the mistakes that kill boards, the habits that prevent failures, and the design choices that save you from endless re-spins.
You’ll learn how
Turn vague ideas into clear, achievable hardware requirementsChoose the right microcontroller and components—without supply-chain surprisesDesign schematics that are readable, review-friendly, and error-resistantBuild power systems that stay stable under real loadsLay out PCBs for signal integrity, EMI control, and easy debuggingAdd test points and interfaces for fast, frustration-free bring-upPrepare designs for manufacturing, assembly, and production scalingThis book bridges the gap between “it works on a breadboard” and “it works in the real world.”
Whether you’
A hobbyist moving beyond development boardsA student building real-world engineering skillsAn embedded engineer tired of costly hardware mistakesA startup team shipping your first product…this guide will help you create boards that are stable, debuggable, and ready for production.
Spend less time fixing broken prototypes—and more time building hardware that works.
