What is Printed Circuit Board?
Printed circuit board is an electronic circuit used in electronic devices to provide mechanical support. PCB mechanically supports and electrically converts electronic components using conductive pathways, tracks, or signal traces etched from copper sheets laminated onto a non-conductive substrate. They are generally made of metal circuits, chips, ICs, sockets, cables, and plastic laminates. These are the elementary component for most of the electronics in the present scenario. PCBs are present in almost all electronic devices we use on a daily basis which include computers, TVs, smartphones, washing machines, coffee makers, ovens and refrigerators etc.
What are the major applications for Printed Circuit Board?
The various end users assessed include automotive, healthcare, industrial electronics, consumer electronics, maritime transport, aerospace & defense and others. PCB in healthcare is used in various devices which monitor health of a person or assist the doctor in surgical operations. On the other hand PCB in pharmaceutical industry used in manufacturing drugs and other medicines at industry level.
PCBA stands for printed circuit board assemblies and they are widely used in the automobile industry. PCB’s have managed to bring a change in the way people drive. GPS navigation system, anti-lock brake system, ECU systems that control engines and several safety and security features that all require PCB’s. Aerospace and defense sectors are one of the key consumers of PCB with major application avionics, communication systems, and weapon systems. PCB forms the necessary foundation for packaging and interconnecting in any electronic circuits. PCBs are used in radar signals which set up in military fighter aircraft such as collision avoidance, blind spot detection and adaptive and adaptive cruise control system
Market Research and Market Trends of Printed Circuit Board
HDI(High Density Interconnect PCBs), one of the most promising growing technologies in PCBs, as they have a higher circuitry density than traditional circuit boards and also comprises of blind and/or buried vias and often contain microvias of .006 or less in diameter. By utilizing HDI technology, designers have multiple options to place one or more components on both sides of the raw PCB. Decreased component size and pitch allow for more I/O in smaller geometries allows faster transmission of signals and also results in significant reduction of signal loss and crossing delays.
PCB Design tools in the past had isolated functional modules for Schematic Capture, PCB Layout, Signal Analysis, Thermal Analysis and Computer Aided Manufacturing. But today all these functionalities have been merged onto a single platform as system based design becomes evident.
The traditional form of system development deals with PCB designing separately but the current aspects focus on an integrated approach. While PCB Design tools do not offer much growth potential but are directly correlated with the emergence of System Design Automation. PCB links the electronic and mechanical design of products which can be utilized for value creation for customers. Even if the market in itself does not provide high-growth opportunities, the up surge in challenges including wire harness design and package designs, the importance of PCB tools is going to become significant.
The Internet of things (IoT) is providing new opportunities to the consumer electronics manufacturers. The amount of systems connected over internet has been expanded over the past decade. Wearable devices such as smart watches have witnessed tremendous growth. Wearable Devices incorporates flexible sensors and chips for comfortably confining into human body. This requires breakthrough designing and manufacturing technology, which will have great impact on the PCB market.
