PCB Design & Manufacturing

Printed circuit board (PCB) design brings your electronic circuits to life in the physical form. Using layout software, the PCB design process combines component placement and routing to define electrical connectivity on a manufactured circuit board. PCB form the backbone of all major electronics. These miraculous inventions pop up in all computational electronics, including simpler devices like digital clocks, calculators etc.

Why PCB design is important?

PCB design can help in reducing the chances of errors and also the possibilities of short circuit. PCBs have a vital role in this modern day as technology is improving daily. These circuit boards are the foundation of electronic products as they are used in almost every electronic device

PCB Design

First, we need to gather the Requirements & Specifications, then we consider standards that the PCB should meet and select the type of PCB material, copper thickness as well as final PCB finish. Next step we place the critical components and make sure connectors and mechanically critical parts are correctly placed on the board. Then we do the routing. We assumed we already have the Circuit Schematics designed and ready.

PCB Routing is a time consuming process, as all connections which we call them the nets in schematics should be converted to a copper trace which would travel on the PCB and make the connection between two or multiple points. Also these tracks may travel to different layers which they have to pass through vias.
