Process :
Requisits for
making Printed Circuit Board Layout
- Component details / Data Sheets of Typical Components
- Netlist / Schematic
- Physical details / Parameters of PCB i.e., size, number of layers, mounting hole locations, placement of critical components etc.
- Any other information related to PCB Layout i.e., signal details / parameters
- Any other information related to specific signal tracks (GND / VCC etc.) i.e., width, length, spacing etc.
- Plane Layer details
- Type of board layout i.e., RF / Analog / Digital / High Speed / High Frequency etc.
Important
note :
With experience, it has been found that if proper information related
to the PCB is available prior to starting the layout, the person designing
the board can properly plan the placement of components and tracks. In
case, the information is given in parts or changes are carried out after
the placement and routing has been done, the resulting layout is comparateniely
pour in quality and standards.
Process of Printed Circuit Board Layout
1st Stage :
Inputs required from Customer :
- Component details / Data Sheet
- Component Creation
- Entry of netlist
on board : From Netlist / Schematic provided by customer
Feedback to Customer : - Netlist generated from board and component layout in the form of Print / Gerber / PDF
2nd Stage :
- Modification of Parts / Netlist / Components as directed by Customer
- Netlist and component layout is again sent to Customer for verification
3rd Stage :
- Routing of tracks
- Print / Gerber / PDF sent to Customer for approval
- Modification done if required
4th Stage :
- Copper Pour and other final touches provided to the Board
- Print / Gerber / PDF sent to Customer for final approval
5th Stage :
- Final Gerber / NC Drill is generated
