The transition from a standard PCB layout to a professional, high-reliability product is defined by the rigor of your validation and the intelligence of your data. KiCad 9 for Professionals is the definitive technical manual for electrical engineers and hardware designers who need to master the full depth of the KiCad 9.0 ecosystem.
This book moves beyond the basics of "how to draw a circuit." It focuses on high-fidelity design workflows, signal integrity, and enterprise-level manufacturing automation. Whether you are migrating from expensive proprietary tools like Altium Designer or OrCAD, or you are a long-time KiCad user looking to leverage the new IPC API and database-driven libraries, this guide provides the mathematical and technical certainty required for industrial-grade hardware.
Master High-Speed Design and Predictive SimulationModern electronics demand more than just connectivity. They demand performance. This book provides a detailed deep-dive into:
- High-Speed Signal Integrity: Master differential pair routing, phase matching, and length-tuning for multi-gigabit interfaces.
- Advanced SPICE Simulation: Execute Monte Carlo yield analysis and thermal stress audits using the integrated NGSpice engine.
- Power Integrity (PI) and PDN: Optimize your power distribution networks to minimize ripple and manage high-current thermal bottlenecks.
- Rigid-Flex and 3D Integration: Coordinate complex mechanical co-designs with seamless STEP/Parasolid exports and folding logic.
A professional PCB design is only as good as its fabrication package. Learn how to eliminate "Engineering Queries" from the factory floor by automating your output jobsets. This book covers:
- Intelligent Data Exchange: Implement native ODB++, IPC-2581, and Gerber X3 standards for zero-error handoffs.
- Custom DRC Expression Engineering: Write advanced Boolean logic rules to enforce company-specific safety and manufacturing constraints.
- The KiCad 9 IPC API: Harness the new Protobuf and NNG-based architecture to build custom plugins and headless automation pipelines.
- Continuous Integration (CI): Integrate the KiCad CLI into Git-based workflows for automated project validation and building.
This is not a "getting started" guide. It is an authoritative reference manual for the modern engineer. Every chapter is built on real-world industrial standards, helping you reduce scrap rates, optimize production yields, and maintain high-fidelity metadata persistence from the schematic to the warehouse SKU.
Take control of your hardware lifecycle. Master the pro-level workflows of KiCad 9 and engineer the future of high-performance electronics.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
