PCB Design Process

The PCBTec PCB design process is Industry Proven Constraint driven approach. The five distinct check cycles designate specific actions and milestones so customers can review the project after each critical point in the design.

A flow chart can be found at the bottom of this page

Check Cycle 1: Component and Mechanical
	Converts the customer’s drawings to a CAD-based physical footprint library Ability to choose from over 1,500 manufacturing-proven standard PCBTec footprints or build custom footprints Create a standard or custom board outline

Check Cycle 2: Placement
	Perform placement of components onto board and verification approvals Perform Valor DFM and DFX testing Check for appropriate clearances between ICs Check for fiducials for pick/place alignment

Check Cycle 3: Critical Routing
	Perform the critical signal routing on the board Telecommunications High speed clock lines Differential pairs Power, high voltage routing

Check Cycle 4: 100% Route
	Final routing completed Documentation and electronic files generated/approved Fabrication and assembly requirements drawings PCB layer stack detail and dimensions Drill and Placement files Gerber files Board silk screen for customer part numbers, pin #, etc

Check Cycle 5: Ready for Manufacture
	Final DFX and Quality Assurance testing All post processing output is done through Valor to address manufacturing issues such as Panelization and standard Gerber formats
