PCB Toolbox offers useful tools for pcb designers to design high quality printed circuit boards. It provides different calculations, for example an estimation of the pcb track heating, the resulting heat resistance and the voltage drop by existing power and pcb track width. Besides usage guides and manuals it provides sample calculations that can be used to make an own calculation.
The App provides the following calculations and tools:
- Track heating (incl. dynamic generated chart!)
- PCB heat resistance
- Voltage drop
- FPC bending radius
- Impedance estimation
- PCB weight calculation
Details:
Track heating:
Calculate required track widths and copper thicknesses for high current PCBs, incl. chart.
PCB heat resistance:
Calculate heat resistance and temperatures for heat emitting components on aluminum PCBs.
Voltage drop:
Estimate trace widths on printed circuit boards regarding required power or voltage drop.
FPC bending radius:
Calculate minimum bending radius for your flexible circuits.
Impedance estimation:
Estimate impedances and capacities of printed circuit boards roughly. Notice: this is not a replacement for professional tools! LeitOn recommends Polar Instruments.
PCB weight calculation:
Calculate weight, volume, area and shipping cost for your PCB project.
