4 . Genaral information about PCB
A printed circuit board (PCB) is a flat board made of insulating material, such as
fiberglass or composite epoxy, with conductive pathways etched or printed onto it.
PCBs are used to provide mechanical support and electrical connections for
electronic components.
Here are some general points about PCBs:
1. Function: The main purpose of a PCB is to provide a platform for mounting and
interconnecting electronic components, such as integrated circuits (ICs), resistors,
capacitors, and other active and passive devices. The conductive pathways on the
PCB, known as traces, allow electrical signals to flow between the components.
2. Layers: PCBs can have multiple layers, typically ranging from one to many
layers, depending on the complexity of the circuit. Each layer can contain
conductive traces and insulating material. The layers are laminated together to form
a single board.
3. Design: PCBs are designed using specialized software called electronic design
automation (EDA) tools. The design process involves placing components on the
board, routing the interconnections, and specifying the necessary electrical
characteristics.
4. Manufacturing: PCBs are manufactured through a series of processes. It starts
with the fabrication of the bare board, which includes etching or printing the copper
traces on the insulating material. Then, the board is populated with electronic
components using automated machines or manual soldering. Finally, the assembled
PCB undergoes testing to ensure proper functionality.
5. Types: PCBs can be classified into different types based on their construction
and application. Some common types include single-sided PCBs, double-sided
PCBs (with traces on both sides), and multilayer PCBs (with multiple layers of
traces). There are also flexible PCBs (flex PCBs) and rigid-flex PCBs that offer
flexibility for specific applications.
6. Advantages: PCBs offer several advantages over other wiring methods. They
provide a compact and organized way to connect electronic components, reducing
the overall size of electronic devices. PCBs also enhance the reliability and
viii
durability of circuits, as the traces are protected and insulated. They can be mass-
produced, making them cost-effective for large-scale production.
7. Applications: PCBs are used in a wide range of electronic devices, from simple
consumer electronics like smartphones, laptops, and televisions to complex systems
such as medical devices, aerospace equipment, and industrial machinery. They are
found in almost every electronic device or system that requires circuitry.
It's important to note that PCB technology is constantly evolving, and new
advancements are being made to meet the demands of smaller, more powerful
electronic devices.

5.Overview of driver circuit designing and manufacturing on machine level
5.1 • Pick and place machine (SMT)
For a good circuit of any electrical device we need a good assembly of components
which will be used on the circuit board, and for that purpose pick and place machine
is used which is SURFACE MOUNT TECHNOLOGY based machine.
Surface-mount technology (SMT) component placement systems, commonly called
pick-and-place machines or P&Ps, are robotic machines which are used to place
surface-mount devices (SMDs) onto a printed circuit board (PCB). They are used
for high speed, high precision placing of a broad range of electronic components,
like capacitors, resistors, integrated circuits onto the PCBs which are in turn used in
computers, consumer electronics as well as industrial, medical, automotive, military
and telecommunications equipment. Similar equipment exists for through-hole
components. This type of equipment is sometimes also used to package microchips
using the flip chip method.
x
5.2 • Operation
The placement equipment is part of a larger overall machine that carries out
specific programmed steps to create a PCB assembly. Several sub-systems work
together to pick up and correctly place the components onto the PCB. These
systems normally use pneumatic suction cups, attached to a plotter-like device to
allow the cup to be accurately manipulated in three dimensions. Additionally, each
nozzle can be rotated independently.
Some machines have these optical systems on the robot arm and can carry out the
optical calculations without losing time, thereby achieving a lower derating factor.
The high-end optical systems mounted on the heads can also be used to capture
details of the non-standard type components and save them to a database for
future use. In addition to this, advanced software is available for monitoring the
production and interconnect database — of the production floor to that of supply
chain — in real-time. ASM provides an optional feature for increasing accuracy
while placing LED components on a high end product where in the optical center
of the LED is critical rather than the calculated mechanical center based on the
component's lead structure. The special camera system measures both physical
and optical center and makes the necessary adjustments before placement. It also
can acquire the images in either single field of view multiple field of view modes.
xii
A separate camera on the pick-and-place head photographs fiducial marks on the
PCB to measure its position on the conveyor belt accurately. Two fiducial marks,
measured in two dimensions each, usually placed diagonally, let the PCB's
orientation and thermal expansion be measured and compensated for as well.
Some machines are also able to measure the PCB shear by measuring a third
fiducial mark on the PCB.
5.6 • Variations
To minimize the distance the pickup gantry must travel, it is common to have
multiple nozzles with separate vertical motion on a single gantry. This can pick up
multiple parts with one trip to the feeders. Also, advanced software in the newer
generation machines allows different robotic heads to work independently of each
other to further increase the throughput.
The components may be temporarily adhered to the PCB using the wet solder
paste itself, or by using small blobs of a separate adhesive, applied by a glue-
dispensing machine that can be incorporated on to the pick and place machine.
The glue is added before component placement. It is dispensed by nozzles or by
using jet dispensing. Jet dispensing dispenses material by shooting it towards the
target, which in this case, is the circuit board.

6. Overview of driver circuit designing and manufacturing on manual level
Once the components are mounted, the next step is soldering. Soldering is a
technique used to join the electrical connections between components and the
circuit board. This process requires skilled manual work to accurately apply the
solder and create secure connections.
After the soldering process, the entire circuit board is immersed in a soldering
solution. This solution helps to ensure that all the components are properly
soldered and connected. If any component was inadvertently left out during the
initial mounting or soldering process, this immersion in the soldering solution helps
identify and rectify the mistake.
xiv
The manual work involved in mounting components, soldering, and using the
soldering solution plays a crucial role in ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the
circuit board assembly. Despite advancements in automation, certain tasks still
require human expertise and attention to detail to achieve optimal results.
Additionally, the supervisor pays close attention to the finer details of the project.
They carefully trim any unwanted legs or excess material to achieve a neater and
more professional appearance. This step is crucial as it ensures that the final
product meets the required standards and specifications.
The supervisor, being an expert in their field, possesses the necessary expertise
and precision to identify and rectify any imperfections or mistakes before moving
on to the subsequent stages. By conducting a thorough visual inspection, they play
a vital role in ensuring the overall quality and integrity of the completed work.

6.3 • Programming of PCB boards
Once the visualization process is completed, the programming phase for the PCB
board begins, tailored to meet specific requirements. This programming involves
configuring parameters such as the fan's RPM (rotations per minute), direction,
frequency, and fulfilling other necessary functions. By programming the PCB
board, engineers can control the fan's speed, determine its rotational direction
(clockwise or counterclockwise), set its frequency of operation, and ensure that all
the necessary functions are implemented. This programming phase is crucial in
fine-tuning the PCB board's behavior and ensuring it operates in accordance with
the desired specifications and functions.

6.4 • Cleaning of PCB
xvii
6.5 • Testing of PCB boards
Only if the PCB passes these tests successfully, it is deemed eligible for the
packaging stage. This ensures that the PCB is in optimal condition and ready for its
intended use.

7.2 •Inductor
Inductors for PCBs. Anywhere voltage is required, inductors are used. High-
frequency inductors are used in the form of power transformers for galvanic
isolation in switch mode power supplies, as storage reactors in boost converters, or
as current-compensated reactors for minimizing disruptions.
7.3 • Diode
A PCB diode is a semiconductor device that allows current to flow in only one
direction. It is made of semiconductor material, such as silicon, and has two
terminals, called the anode and the cathode. The anode is the positive terminal, and
the cathode is the negative terminal.
xx
7.5 • Zener diode
The Zener diode is often in use as a voltage regulator, primarily because the voltage
drop across the diode is constant. Furthermore, the supply voltage must exceed the
Zener voltage for the circuit to operate. Thereby, any electronic component
connected in parallel with these diodes will have the same applied voltage.
Laser diodes are electronic devices that emit coherent light. They use a
process of stimulated emission to generate and control light. The three
pins on a laser diode help the diode produce a specific wavelength of light.
The pins are called active, passive, and ground.
Thyristor diodes are three terminal devices. The three terminals are gate, anode, and
cathode. The gate controls the current that flows between the anode and cathode.

PCB Connectors can also be known as PCB Interconnects. Specific terms are also
used for the two mating sides of the connection. Male PCB Connectors are often
referred to as Pin Headers, as they are simply rows of pins. Female PCB Connectors
can be called Sockets, Receptacles, or sometimes even Header Receptacles.
