**Designing Your Tiny Boost Converter PCB with EasyEDA**

I recently created a free account and set up a new project folder for my 80 tiny boost converter in the software. To recreate my schematic, I used the easy Eda Library, which offers most of the necessary component symbols on the left side of the screen. This layout is convenient, as it also provides US and EU versions of the symbols, which I prefer.

However, three components were missing - 80, 85, and two PCB terminals. Instead of creating my own schematic symbols for them, I searched online and found a design that another user had created, which saved me time and effort. This sharing of designs and projects is a great feature of the software, as you can browse dozens of schematics and PCBs created by others and use or modify them for your project.

After finding my missing components, I finished my schematic using the wiring tool to connect all the parts together and added the input voltage source. It's also useful that I can export an image file of the schematic, although the resolution is a bit small. Thankfully, I can increase its size with Inkscape and then print it out.

Next, I wanted to convert my schematic into a PCB layout. EasyEDA provides a decently sized Library for package designs, which I used to find packages for my microcontroller, diode, MOSFET, and capacitors. Although there were no package designs available for resistors online, I was able to import the symbol design. If only a package design is available, you can easily import it and use it for the remaining components.

Using the integrated PCB Library designer, I created my own package by measuring the distance between two leads of a component and placing two holes in the software. When I'm not too lazy, I also use the track tool to create an outline for the parts. This process was quick and intuitive, and afterwards, I was finally able to create the PCB without any error messages.

I then placed all the components on my board in a logical arrangement and used the track tool to connect them with one another. The given parameters that can be changed during this process are not too many and thus not overwhelming, which resulted in a pleasant experience for me.

After increasing the width of the main power rails, I used the copper area tool to create the ground area, and just like that, my PCB was done. I could either export the Gerber files of this design or use the PCP fabrication service of EasyEDA, which offers reasonable prices.

**Simulation with EasyEDA**

I also tried out the simulation part of the software by building up a simple op-amp filter with a voltage source, resistor, and capacitor and attaching the voltage probe to the input and output. After selecting the AC analysis and defining the frequency band, I got my expected results presented in a graph.

I also tried another simulation with an astable multivibrator. If you're thinking that this all looks similar to the program LC Spice, then you are partly correct - it is based on NG Spice and works very well. The only negative aspect is that the output graph is not that easy to work with, but you can always export the results as a CSV file.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, I like the program EasyEDA. It offers everything you need to turn your schematic into a PCB layout without overwhelming you with too many information. They also offer a well-written tutorial about every aspect of the software, so why not have a look for yourself?

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enin my latest video I showed you how I created the first prototype of my 80 tiny boost converter on a perf ports since then I've been doing various tests with the circuits and the results turned out better than I expected that is why I want to design a more professional PCB for the circuit usually I would use the program Eagle to do that just like I did with the PCB I designed for my big seven segment display but there also exist other useful programs out there that can do this task like for example easy Eda it is a free online software that allows you to create schematics pcbs and even simulations for your desired circuits so in this video I will give the software A Try by designing my tiny boost converter PCB and finally simulating a couple of circuits let's get started first off I created a free account and afterwards a new project folder for the 80 tiny boost converter next I needed to recreate my schematic in the software which was pretty easy to do since the easy Eda Library offers most of the necessary component symbols on the left side of the screen not only is this layout convenient but they also offer the US and EU version of the symbols which I I like because most of the time I'm not a fan of the US symbols but three components were still missing in the end the 80 85 and two PCB terminals now I could create my own schematic symbols for them with the software but there is an easier way which is my favorite feature of the software you can actually search for component symbols and packages online and use designs that other users created this way I found my 80 tiny in 5 seconds instead of wasting a minute or to to make my own symbol and this whole sharing designs and projects concept is rather interesting because you can have a look at dozens of schematics and pcbs other users created and best of all you can use them as well or modify them for your own project but we are getting off topic here I finished my schematic by using the wiring tool to connect all of the parts together and finally added the input voltage source to complete it for me it is also important that I can export an image file of the schematic which the software also supports but the resolution of the image is a bit too small thankfully though you can also export it as an SVG file this way I can increase its size with inkscape and then print it out next I wanted to convert the schematic into a PCB layout which is not possible yet because the package aka the actual physical size of the components is not defined yet
