Various schematic symbols and diagrams are familiarized and a schematic is a collection of electronic symbols connected together with virtual “wires”. When fabricating a printed circuit board (PCB), a schematic is needed to provide input (a netlist) to the layout and routing tool (Varteresian, 2002)[1]. In other words, the capture of a schematic diagram is a convention to PCB, subsequent construction and testing. The design of PCBs is very widely used in electronic equipment and systems, for example, good EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) practices. These PCB-level EMC practices usually help achieve the required EMC performance at a much lower cost than alternative EMC measures at higher levels of integration, such as whole-product shielding. They also improve signal integrity in both analogue and digital circuits (Armstrong, Aug 1999)(Journal 1). Power decoupling techniques can improve the power supply of a PCB and transmission lines techniques are a part of the PCB layout (Armstrong, Oct 1999) (Journal 2). The MM232R is a miniature development module which uses FTDI’s FT232RQ. In this assignment, MM232R needed to be designed according to the datasheet.
