pcb layout design rules

Hi,

Could anyone suggest a location where to find smd layout rules, ie come into pads only at right angles, avoid 90 deg bends etc.

thnks

smt layout rules

hai,
there is no specific rules for SMD components. you check the components footprint before you send for fabric.
thanks

here are some books for referance on pcb design

A bright book for old and new designer:

pcb layout design reference book

You may refer to the following book to understand the high speed board layout issues.

Johnson and Graham, High-Speed Digital Design: A Handbook of Black Magic Prentice Hall, 1993

Please get the info's from Standard design rules for Rigid boards from IPC

 

[vdaniel]

Please, can you give a more detailed reference for "Standard design rules for Rigid boards from IPC".

Thanks,

You can download the releavant IPC standard from this thread.

please i want some information on calculating pitch and other dimensions of a non ipc standard components please help me in this regard.

I think SMD footprint always include in the datasheets, so let create footprint if no available in library your PCB software application.
Thx
