An overview of the process of electronic product designing

If you are reading this you probably own a computer or a hand held device or a hard copy which was printed somewhere from a printer. All these devices have a printed circuit board at their heart which has made our lives a lot less complicated. In this Jet age you will find endless applications of electronics from deep space exploration to a simple toaster at your home. The technological advancement in the field of PCB designing and manufacturing has led to advancement in almost every field like medical science, information technology, aviation, military, etc.

So what is a printed circuit board? As the name describes it is a non-conducting board with conducting pathways commonly made of copper etched on it to support the electronic components which are installed on that board. As the complexity of electronic circuit design is increasing, there is a cut throat competition between companies to provide the best possible hardware design to the clients and to back up their hardware with efficient and manageable software solution.

If you require a certain piece of electronic equipment as per your requirement you can approach any specific manufacturer and give them the specifications of your desired product. These days companies have extensive R&D labs for electronic product development so that the client gets the product according to their requirement. There are various steps involved in this process:

• Research according to the specification.
• Circuit designing.
• Packaging or housing the circuit as per requirement.
• Trial production to check for errors.
• Extensive testing to detect any flaws.
• Documentation and software designing, if any.
• Agency compliance may be required according to the law including fire hazards, radiation safety, etc.
• Mass production of the equipment.

Many manufacturers also provide facility for designing and production of specific plastic housing for the equipment and other kinds of mechanical designs. This may be necessary in cases where the PCB has to be covered due to shock hazards, prevent weathering or any other issue.

Electronic equipment has a program or a set of instructions stored on board which helps it to function accordingly. No hardware is complete without software so it’s equally important that the software be designed accordingly. For example you may require computing power onboard or some operating system like windows mobile, java or android. Apart from that you may need programming languages like C++ or .net etc. The electronic equipment manufacturing companies also provide facilities for designing and production of supporting software for their clients.
