What is the process of PCB design?

Question

Accepted Answer

PCB design process involves schematic design, component placement, routing, and manufacturing preparation.

Schematic design: Create a schematic diagram of the circuit using a software tool like Altium Designer.
Component placement: Position components on the PCB layout to optimize signal integrity and minimize interference.
Routing: Connect the components using traces while considering factors like signal integrity, power distribution, and EMI.
Manufacturing preparation: Generate Gerber files and Bill of Materials (BOM) for production.
Testing and validation: Verify the design through simulations, prototypes, and testing to ensure functionality and reliability.
