What are the main points of PCB circuit board design and production process? PCB circuit board design and production process and key points. PCB circuit board design is one of the key steps in the electronic product development process.

PCB design and production process

1. Demand analysis: Determine the functional and performance requirements of the circuit, understand the working environment and application scenarios of the circuit, and clarify the basic requirements of the PCB.

2. Schematic design: Create circuit schematic, identify the device, connection line, ensure that the circuit connection is correct, in line with the design specification.

3. Component selection: Select the appropriate components, including chips, resistors, capacitors, connectors, etc., considering performance, cost, supply cycle and other factors.

4. PCB layout design: Place components, plan PCB board area, consider signal integrity, power distribution, heat dissipation and other factors.

5. Signal integrity analysis: Perform signal integrity analysis, including timing analysis, signal transmission line matching and impedance control.

6. Ground wire and power supply planning: Design reasonable ground wire and power supply layout to reduce electromagnetic interference and ensure stable power supply.

7. Wiring: Connect components, design signal lines, power cables, ground cables, etc., to ensure the quality of signal transmission.

8. PCB layer distribution: allocate the functions of different layers, such as signal layer, power layer, stratum, etc., and reasonably plan the PCB hierarchy.

9. Heat dissipation design: Design heat sinks for components that need heat dissipation to ensure that components do not overheat when working.

10. 3D model design: Optional step to create a 3D model of the PCB to facilitate mechanical design and overall system integration.

11. Generate Gerber files: Generate Gerber files for PCB production, including layout information for different layers.

12. PCB manufacturing: Send Gerber file to PCB manufacturer to manufacture PCB board.

13. Component welding: The components are welded to the PCB board, which can be done manually or through automated equipment.

14. Testing and debugging: Perform functional testing on PCB, troubleshoot possible problems, and debug.

15. File archive: Archive all design documents, including schematic diagrams, PCB layout files, Gerber files, etc.

PCB design and production points

1. Specification compliance: comply with relevant electrical codes and standards, such as IPC standards, to ensure that the design meets industry requirements.

2. Component layout: reasonably arrange the location of components, reduce signal transmission distance, and reduce electromagnetic interference.

3. Signal integrity: pay attention to the timing relationship and impedance matching to reduce the delay and distortion of signal transmission.

4. Power and ground cables: Ensure the reasonable layout of power cables and ground cables to reduce power noise and improve circuit stability.

5. Heat dissipation design: Reasonable heat dissipation design for the components that need heat dissipation to ensure that the temperature of the components is reasonable when working.

6. EMC(Electromagnetic compatibility) : Consider electromagnetic compatibility, reduce electromagnetic radiation and sensitivity to external electromagnetic interference.

7. BOM(component list) management: Manage BOM to ensure the accuracy and supply feasibility of components.

8. Manufacturing-oriented design: Consider the manufacturability of PCB, avoid bad processes in design, and reduce manufacturing costs.

9. Document archiving: Organize and properly save design documents for subsequent modification, maintenance and production.

10. Test strategy: Develop a reasonable test strategy to ensure that effective testing and debugging can be carried out after manufacturing.

The above steps and points are general, and the actual PCB design may be adjusted depending on the project needs, technical requirements and industry standards.
