Guidelines for Improving PCB DESIGN MANUFACTURABILITY

摘要

Completing the development stage of a printed circuit board (PCB) design and handing it to manufacturing should be the proverbial passing of the torch, the moment that signals the final stages of a design's lifecycle. But what happens when the PCB design is flawed or missing a necessary component? What happens if incomplete files are released to production, resulting in a nonconforming PCB, or the PCBs are degraded in the field? These common missteps force engineers to either backtrack the design layout itself or the documentation they painstakingly worked to produce, with either scenario prompting extensive rework or delay. Unfortunately, these scenarios are all too common for many engineers.
