Printed Circuit Board Manufacture
Printed Circuit Boards In our series on Electronics Design we have looked at the Electronics Design Process from Requirements Capture, Technology Selection, Component Selection, Schematic Capture and finally PCB Design of the Printed Circuit Board including PCB Layout. Now we have a design and the Electronics CAD files to make a Prototype. There are a number…

Electronics Design: PCB Layout
PCB Layout After the Schematic Capture component of the Electronics Design is complete, the logical connections for the electronics components have been determined. If the Electronics CAD package also supports it, you can add rules to guide the Printed Circuit Board Layout, also abbreviated to PCB Layout which we will use from here on. …

Fine Pitch PCB
Fine Pitch Printed Circuit Board This example is from a project coming to the end of the Proof of Concept phase. So we have done the Electronics Design and also completed the PCB Layout. I can’t tell you what it does, but you don’t really need to know in order to appreciate the technology. This…

Electronics Design: Schematic Capture
Schematic Capture Schematic Capture is the process of defining the logic connections between different components in an Electronic Circuit. At the end of the process you have a diagram or Schematic of the circuit. That’s a complicated way of saying that it shows the connections between the selected components. We use Altium Designer as our…

Electronics Design: Process
Electronics Design The Electronics Design Process involves a number of steps. Unless what you are doing is a minor tweak to an existing product, you will use these steps. Over the next few weeks I will unpack what is involved in each step but this post is just going to be the list of steps.…
