The PCB Layout Process

PCB layout is a critical stage in the development of electronic products. It involves designing the physical arrangement of components and copper traces on a printed circuit board to ensure that the final product functions efficiently and meets all technical requirements.

Below is an overview of the key stages in Jaltek’s PCB design and layout process:

1. Schematic Design

• Creating Circuit Schematics
  Every layout begins with a detailed circuit schematic that maps out all components and their interconnections. This serves as the foundation for a successful design.

2. Component Selection

• Choosing the Right Components
  Selection is based on functionality, size constraints, performance requirements, and availability—ensuring the most effective components are used from both technical and supply chain perspectives.

3. PCB Design Software

• Leveraging Advanced Tools
  We use state-of-the-art PCB design software such as Altium Designer, Eagle, and KiCAD to create accurate and efficient layouts aligned with the schematic design.

4. Component Placement

• Optimising Layout for Performance
  Components are strategically positioned to reduce signal interference, improve thermal performance, and facilitate efficient routing—all while considering mechanical constraints and form factor requirements.

5. Routing

• Creating Electrical Pathways
  Electrical traces are routed to connect components as per the schematic, with careful attention to signal integrity, impedance control, and trace width specifications.

6. Layer Stackup

• Defining the Board Structure
  Depending on the complexity of the design, we define the appropriate number of PCB layers (e.g., single, double, or multi-layer) to balance performance, space, and cost.

7. Design Rule Check (DRC)

• Ensuring Manufacturability
  Rigorous DRCs validate that the layout meets all electrical and manufacturing specifications, including trace spacing, pad dimensions, and hole sizes.

8. Signal Integrity

• Mitigating EMI and Crosstalk
  We analyze layouts for potential signal integrity issues and implement best practices to ensure stable performance in high-speed or sensitive electronic applications.

9. Thermal Management

• Managing Heat Dissipation
  Heat-sensitive designs benefit from built-in thermal strategies such as heat sinks, copper pours, and thermal vias, helping maintain reliable operation over time.

10. Final Checks & Documentation

• Preparing for Fabrication
  Before release, all layouts undergo detailed review. We then generate Gerber files, assembly drawings, and other essential documentation to support smooth PCB fabrication and assembly.

11. Prototyping & Testing

• Validating the Design
  Prototype boards are produced and tested to verify functionality, identify potential improvements, and ensure that the design meets performance expectations.

12. Iteration & Refinement

• Optimising Before Production
  Based on real-world testing and feedback, we refine the layout to address any issues and further optimise performance, cost, and manufacturability.
