PCB Design: Capabilities

SI Simulation Analysis

We have a complete SI design and solution process for SI problems. Based on design and signal integrity timing requirements, pre-cabling simulation allows designers to select components, adjust part layouts, plan system clock networks, and determine termination strategies and topologies for critical networks. and determine the termination strategy and topology of critical networks. Post-routing simulation can evaluate whether routing parameters such as reflection, ringing, overshoot, crosstalk, and timing meet design requirements, helping to reveal potential SI issues and improve design reliability.

PI Simulation Analysis

If the design of the power grid is flawed, it will directly affect the stability of the entire system. We have accumulated a lot of experience in the field of high-current grid design. Combined with existing simulation methods in early design, we can detect early risks and optimize the layout of devices and power modules, no. The pads and capacitance distribution ensure the reliability of the power supply network design.

DFM

The boards, components and their construction will make the best choice in terms of cost, efficiency and quality, as the production-related process issues are taken into account when the product is used holistically from the beginning of product planning. In particular, the layout of the board needs to conform to this selection. In the design process, various simulation software and special inspection regulations are used for the inspection and modification of the board surface in each link to ensure the yield of the product from design to production, which greatly improves the manufacturability of the product design, so as to achieve the effect of saving time, materials and costs.

FAI System

The self-developed FAI (First Article Inspection) image inspection system can improve the accuracy of the first article, so as to ensure the first-time pass rate of the processed product.

  • Verify the correctness of the SMT program and component location. Avoid misalignment of components and incorrect installation, etc.
  • Consistency checks of component capacity and specifications with BOM to ensure correct installation.
  • Verification of the consistency of installation orientation, parameters and designer's intent

During production, if the first article inspection takes too long, the installed solder will be exposed for a long time, resulting in a decrease in optimality, in addition to a decrease in FAI on the circuit board on the furnace. The use of the FAI first inspection system can greatly reduce the time of the first inspection and absolutely avoid the above problems, in this case, the first inspection rate will reach more than 95%.

Measurement for QC

  • Quality Awareness – Through continuous training, quality awareness is universally supported. Quality checks account for the largest proportion of performance evaluations. It operates in strict accordance with the quality management system.
  • trace
  • Prevention - The inspection of incoming materials should be carried out in strict accordance with the BOM. and the Code of Practice and Instructions should be revised. The implementation of induction should also be strictly enforced.
  • Process Control – Record product status and facts at control points. Exceptions should be on the notice. In addition, in the event of a fatal anomaly, shutdown and reform measures should be taken. The operator, i.e., the QC maintenance supervisor, should bear the primary responsibility for anomalies arising from the joint and several liability between adjacent processes and related to promotion bonuses.

Material Control - Traceability and Identification

Relevant regulations are formulated according to the type, quantity and requirements of materials and parts required in production to ensure the quality of processed materials and maintain the suitability and formability of the products in processing. Identify the materials in the process to ensure the identification of the materials and the traceability of the verification status.

Equipment control and maintenance

We establish regulations based on equipment, measuring instruments, etc., which affect quality characteristics, verify their accuracy before use, and periodically verify and recalibrate. In addition, they should be properly stored and protected between uses. Develop a preventative facility maintenance plan to ensure equipment accuracy, production capacity, and continuous processing capabilities

Management of critical process controls

Focus on controlling product characteristics that are difficult to measure, and special capabilities and processes for the maintenance and operation of related equipment. Timely improvement and correction of deficiencies in the process. In addition, process parameters are monitored, controlled, and verified at appropriate frequencies to investigate whether all facilities and operators are meeting product quality requirements.

File control

Ensure that the requirements in the process planning are implemented and that the process-related documents used are valid versions.

Process change control

Ensure the correctness of process changes and their implementation, specify changes in responsibilities and authority, evaluate products after changes, and verify the expected impact of changes.

Verified controls

Identify the verification status of the process in an appropriate manner, distinguish between unverified, qualified or non-conforming products, and verify the responsibility for identity through identification.

Nonconformance control

Develop and implement sub-quality product control procedures to detect, clearly identify, and isolate storage. In addition, identify and monitor the disposal methods of non-conforming products to prevent customers from receiving it and their accidental use, in order to avoid further processing of non-conforming products and their unnecessary costs.

Attention to detail

  • Every employee is required to wear anti-static clothing before entering the workshop.
  • It must pass a static test before working on the assembly line.
  • Electrostatic wrist straps should be worn when working.
  • The packaging must be packed in an anti-static bag.
  • Suppresses the accumulation of static electricity and the generation of static electricity

Process Analysis::

PCB Process:

8 layers, thickness 1.0mm, OSP process. The PCB of OSP process should not be exposed to direct sunlight, and the storage environment requirements: relative humidity: 30~70%, temperature: 15~30°C. When unpacking at SMT site, the humidity indicator card must be checked and brought online within 12 hours, and kept to pass the furnace within 30 minutes. If the furnace time is too long, the solder paste will corrode and break the surface layer of the OSP and affect the soldering. During the production process, it is necessary to avoid touching the surface of the PCB directly with your hands, so as to avoid oxidation caused by sweat contamination on the surface. After the SMT single-sided patch is completed, the second-sided SMT part patch assembly must be completed within 24 hours. After completing the SMT, the DIP hand plug-in should be completed in the shortest possible time (up to 36 hours). OSP PCB should not be baked, and high-temperature baking will easily cause OSP discoloration and deterioration. If the empty board exceeds the service life, it can be returned to the PCB factory for OSP rework.
