The Purpose of Printed Circuit Boards

Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are vital to the electronics industry. They are the base component of most electronic designs, such as computer motherboards and graphic cards. PCBs provide mechanical support and create electronic pathways within appliances and devices. They facilitate the complex communications that constantly occur so that electronic devices work properly.

While the most common material for circuit boards is FR4 fibreglass, some designs use an aluminum base or flexible polymer. Conductive options like copper are also popular as they allow electrical signals to travel freely. Printed circuit boards are the most efficient means of creating circuits and can be mass-produced at cost-effective rates, which is why they are in such high demand across industries. Printed circuit boards are highly customizable and can do almost anything you want an electronic circuit to do. Its uses are almost endless.

 

Circuit Design

This is often the most challenging part. Some of our clients supply a complete schematic ready for layout, but most often, we are required to design and prototype the circuit. Power budgets are calculated, and parts are chosen to handle power dissipation, operating temperature, vibration, and electromagnetic noise. The design is then checked against the requirements documentation to ensure all the specifications have been met.

 

Schematic Capture

Schematic capture or schematic entry is the step for formalizing the schematic. Our designers specify each component in preparation for the layout. Power requirements and heat generation calculations are checked at this point. Procurement is addressed here if it has not already been done. The parts must be available and checked for end-of-life issues. There are parts marked for end-of-life every day.

 

Part Creation

Trinity’s component library contains thousands of components and expands weekly. Here, the schematic symbol and the PCB footprint are associated together. The footprints must include the pattern for the copper layers, solder mask, and silkscreen (stencil).

BOM Generation

A bill of materials (BOM) lists the components needed to assemble a circuit board. A complete and accurate BOM is critical for circuit board assembly, production, and procurement.

 

Production Documentation

Production documentation includes the following:

 

Documents for circuit board fabrication

 

 

• • Gerber files

• • drill files

 

Documents for circuit board assembly

 

 

• • silkscreen

• • solder paste files

• • unique assembly steps

• • coordinate files
