*PCB bare board will be delayered during the procedure and the sample PCB will no longer be able to reuse.
PCB Design Process
• Acquire all information needed, reviewing and verifying the accuracy.
• Schematic capture and net list generation (if not done yet).
• Create part library for the project.
• PCB component placement.
• Submit intermediate placement to engineer for reviewing. This is usually a discussion-modification process until get approval on final placement.
• PCB routing. PCB designer and engineer must maintain adequate and frequent communication during the routing process.
• Complete PCB layout, finalize all documents.
How to reduce the cost and time for PCB layout
• Provide as accurate information of circuit design and system requirement as possible.
• Avoid/minimize change on schematic after PCB layout process begins.
• Reducing density and making practical requirement.
• Choose responsible and highly skilled PCB designers.
• Schematics and BOM if the schematic capture process involved in the design order.
• Assembly drawings.
• Assembly machine pick-place data file.
• Solder paste stencil files.
• Other optional files as client required.
