Basic steps of PCB design

Planning stage
The focus should be placed upon either searching or creating the component library as the first step in the design process. As an outline of the circuit, the schematic representation includes information such as where components are located and how they are interconnected. This acts as the guide for the construction of the PCB.Get more news about Printed Circuit Board,you can vist our website!

Board assembly design
Positioning of components on the printed circuit board is done following the schematics and appropriately orienting the components to maximize signal performance, power distribution and mechanical design. The components are connected by placing traces that were shown in the schematic, making sure that parasitic effects and signal reflections are prevented.

Validation
Design guides are strictly followed, and a check of such is known as DRC and is performed using computers accompanied by engines’ software. Because signals carry much information, sometimes complex designs carry out complicated signal design analysis just to capture the intent of high speed signals.

Prototype and testing
A limited volume of PCBs is usually produced for purposes of prototyping and testing. Validation of functionality of the prototypes is usually done and all matters arising that are necessary for fixing are noted.

Changes and improvement suggestions
The collected results after the experiments may call for some adjustments of the design in order either to enhance the performance or to eliminate the defect that was detected. The design is optimized in a way that the product is high quality and will be produced at the most competitive price on the market.

Fun manufacturing
After the design is confirmed and fully tested, the PCBs are manufactured in bulk, as per the requirement of the client.During the course of manufacture, quality control of various types is exercised in order to maintain uniformity, control and keep within specified limits of tolerance.

By following these basic steps, our SHEN CHUANG evaluates each PCB design and revises it to the maximal level before dispatching it to the customers. Clients can be sure that all their PCB procurement requirements will be accurately and professionally fulfilled.
