1. Power Supply Circuit for MCU 2. The purpose of this lab was to learn the basics of the PCB
design program eagle and to create a power supply module for a micro
controller unit (MCU). This was achieved by finding dimensions of
surface mount devices and designing devices in Eagle. These devices
were then placed on a schematic. The schematic was used to create a
layout of the PCB.
3. Materials and Methods
EAGLE computer Application
Paper and Pencil
PCB Way
4. Results

dimensions (dimensions removed before Gerber creation).
Figure 4. Layout of the final board with auto route creation and top and bottom copper layers.
5. Discussion
Eagle is a useful tool for creating PCBs. At first there is a bit
of a learning curve as it is a little particular. Over all given
adaquate time Eagle PCB flows much easier and allows for sufficent
design of a Power supply board.
