Hello everyone,
Can you please let me know where to download free version for PCB
designing. Cct which i want to make has a maximum of 24 pin IC.

regards,
Prateek


Prateek,

You didn't say if you wanted to etch your own PCB's or if you wanted to
sent the design files out to a board house to be manufactured. If you want
to send them out, I've found ExpressPCB very good for small projects. It's
free and easy to use. One program lets you create the schematic, the other,
the PCB program, links to the schematic and lets you manually place
components, traces, and pads. You down load the file to ExpressPCB and they
send you the board(s) in about 3 days. They have several levels of service,
but I mostly use they're "mini-boards". Three identical 2"x3", two-sided
boards with plated thru holes, and 350 holes maximum for $59. I've found
the quality very good. Even if I only need one of the boards it's still a
good value for me (research support). Also, I often will layout several
tiny, unrelated crcuits on a 2x3 board and cut them apart for other
projects.
