The final phase for the ‘Winter Training 2016’ involved fabrication of
a Linear Power Supply as well as soldering of a Switching Power
Supply.
PCBs can be single sided (one copper layer), double sided (two
copper layers) or multi-layer (outer and inner layers). Conductors on
different layers are connected with vias. Multi-layer PCBs allow for
much higher component density.
Fabrication Process
Steps to design the board layout for a PCB have already been
discussed. Foe a quick recapitulation, first the schematic of the board
is drawn in the Eagle CAD followed by its board layout through
placing of components, routing etc. Now comes the fabrication part.

Detailed Procedure
Firstly, passive load testing was done where Open Circuit Voltage and
Short Circuit Current was noted.
Secondly, active load testing was done where output voltage of the
power supply was measured as a function of load current. The

Soldering: Switching Power Supply
On the last day of ‘Winter Training 2016’ the students were asked to
solder Buck-Boost Switching Power Supply followed by its active load
testing.
Just like the linear power supply, active load test was performed on
switching power supply as well and thus output voltage was
measured as a function of load current. The active load tests yield
the following result:
