Introduzione

The KiCad PCB Calculator is a set of utilities to help you find the values of components or other parameters of a layout. The Calculator has the following tools:

  • Regolatori

  • Larghezza piste

  • Spaziature elettriche

  • Linee di trasmissione

  • Attenuatori RF

  • Codice colori

  • Classi schede

Calcolatrici

Regolatori

Questa calcolatrice serve ad aiutare a trovare i valori delle resistenze necessarie per i regolatori lineari, inclusi quelli a bassa caduta.

Regolatori

For the Standard Type, the output voltage Vout as a function of the reference voltage Vref and resistors R1 and R2 is given by:

Regolatori

For the 3 terminal type, there is a correction factor due to the quiescent current Iadj flowing from the adjust pin:

Regolatori

Questa corrente solitamente è sotto i 100 uA e può essere ignorata con cautela.

To use this calculator, enter the parameters of the regulator Type, Vref and, if needed, Iadj, select the field you want to calculate (one of the resistors or the output voltage) and enter the other two values.

Larghezza piste

The Track Width tool calculates the trace width for printed circuit board conductors for a given current and temperature rise. It uses formulas from IPC-2221 (formerly IPC-D-275).

Larghezza piste

Spaziature elettriche

This table helps finding the minimum clearance between conductors.

Each line of the table has a minimum recomended distance between conductors for a given voltage (DC or AC peaks) range. If you need the values for voltages higher than 500V, enter the value in the box in the left corner and press Update Values.

Spaziature elettriche

Linea di trasmissione

La teoria delle linee di trasmissione è una pietra miliare nell’insegnamento dell’ingegneria RF e delle microonde.

Nella calcolatrice si può scegliere tra diversi tipi di linee ed i loro parametri speciali. I modelli implementati dipendono dalle frequenze e quindi non corrispondono con i modelli più semplici a frequenze abbastanza alte.

Questa calcolatrice è fortemente basata su Transcalc.

I tipi di linee di trasmissione ed i riferimenti dei loro modelli matematici sono elencati di seguito:

Attenuatori RF

With the RF Attenuator utility you can calculate the values of the resistors needed for different types of attenuators:

  • Pigreco

  • T

  • T interconnesso

  • Accoppiatore resistivo

To use this tool, first select the type of attenuator you need, then enter the desired attenuation (in dB) and input/output impedances (in Ohms).

Attenuatori RF

Codice colori

Questa calcolatrice aiuta nella traduzione delle barre di colore presenti sulle resistenze nel loro valore. Per usarla, basta selezionare la tolleranza della resistenza: 10%, 5% o minore o uguale al 2%. Per esempio:

  • Giallo viola rosso oro: 4 7 x100 ±5% = 4700 Ohm, 5% di tolleranza

  • 1kOhm, 1% tolleranza: marrone nero nero marrone marrone

Classi schede

Performance Classes

In IPC-6011 have been three performance classes established

  • Class 1 General Electronic Products Includes consumer products, some computer and computer peripherals suitable for applications where cosmetic imperfections are not important and the major requirement is function of the completed printed board.

  • Class 2 Dedicated Service Electronic Products Includes communications equipment, sophisticated business machines, instruments where high performance and extended life is required and for which uninterrupted service is desired but not critical. Certain cosmetic imperfections are allowed.

  • Class 3 High Reliability Electronic Products Includes the equipment and products where continued performance or performance on demand is critical. Equipment downtime cannot be tolerated and must function when required suchas in life support items or flight control systems. Printed boards in this class are suitable for applications where high levels of assurance are required and service is essential.

PCB Types

In IPC-6012B there are also 6 Types of PCB defined:

  • Printed Boards without plated through holes (1)

    • 1 Single-Sided Board

  • And Boards with plated through holes (2-6)

    • 2 Double-Sided Board

    • 3 Multilayer board without blind or buried vias

    • 4 Multilayer board with blind and/or buried vias

    • 5 Multilayer metal core board without blind orburied vias

    • 6 Multilayer metal core board with blind and/orburied vias
