Gerber files are files that all circuit design software can produce. They are also called stencil data in the electronic assembly industry, and light painting files in the PCB manufacturing industry. It can be said that Gerber files are the most common and most widely used file formats in the electronics assembly industry. Therefore, for an electronics manufacturing company, it is very important to have a computer-aided manufacturing CAM software that can handle Gerber files. It has the effect o...

Usually, it is easier to generate Gerber files using Kicad than other PCB design software. All you need to do is to select the necessary layers and to not forget generating the DRILL file. Now, let’s get started!1. Open your .kicad_pcb fileAfter opening your Kicad project - .pro file, you can double click the .kicad_pcb file or click the “PCBNew” button to open your PCB editor. 2. Plot your Kicad PCB as Gerber filesClick the “File” menu -->”Plot” and choose the necessary layers shown as below...

1). Basically, it is correct to divide the modulus / division. It is important to note that the signal trace should not cross the moat, and do not let the return current path of the power supply and signal become too large.2). The crystal is a simulated positive feedback oscillator circuit with a stable oscillation signal that must meet the specifications of the loop gain and phase, and the oscillation specification of the analog signal is susceptible to interference, even if the ground guard tr...

The basic idea to avoid high-frequency interference is to minimize the interference of the high-frequency signal electromagnetic field, that is, the so-called Crosstalk. You can increase the distance between the high-speed signal and the analog signal, or add ground guard / shunt traces next to the analog signal to avoid high-frequency interference. Also, don't foget to pay attention to the digital ground to the analog ground noise interference.A multi-layer printed circuit board is construc...

The choice of PCB material must meet the design requirements, the quality of production and cost need to achieve a balance. The design requirements include electrical and institutional parts. This material problem is usually important when designing very high speed PCB boards (frequencies greater than GHz). For example, the commonly used FR-4 material may not be used when dielectric loss at several GHz frequencies, which can have a significant effect on signal attenuation . In the case of electr...

STEP 1: Choose initial number of layers1 or 2 Layer PCBs – Home prototypingUse 1 or 2 Layer PCB only for very simple boards, breakouts or for some circuits which you are making at home. Don’t use 1 or 2 layer PCBs for interfaces with controlled impedance (USB, Ethernet, LVDS, …). In this case, use at least 4 layer PCB.4 Layer PCB – Simple or cheap boards & breakoutsIf possible, always use at least 4 layer PCB. There is not much difference in cost between 2 and 4 layer PCBs, but 4 layer PCB i...

In order to meet the needs of more customers on the mail, we make our effort to find more shipping ways cooperating with more carrior companies. Once upon a time, we mainly have 2 ways of shipping - DHL and HK post, which fit different person's needs.As you already know, DHL is a fast shipping way but it is a little expensive ( even many times as the PCB cost ). So sometimes you have to choose HK post to save the budget. However, you are soon tied of the low speed of it.Then we offer a compr...

In the past few years, we have been committing ourselves to offer the easiest way of ordering PCB or other related products online. So you could find our online quote system using from PCB prototyping service to PCBA and FPC manufacturing service. But automatic quotes for the system must have occasional unavoidable errors, which will make the price change. For example, the size of the boards you provide is not the same as the actual size measured from our engineer. Or your PCBs have smaller dril...

Now as you can see from our new community, we re-planned the site layout, especially the sections of sponsorship and feedback.On the new Sponsorship page, we relaxed the limit of supporting apply. It means that no matter who you are and what do you do, you can definitely get a sponsor from PCBWay, only if you are confident enough to think that you are going to make a COOL project. Of course, this cool project should be made based on PCB so that we can be here to help. The progress of applying a ...

Step1: The work before generate the Gerber file Before generate Gerber file, you need to set criteria, but for most of PCB designers, these are not necessarily. The following is a brief explanation of these settings, You can also ignore these setting when generate Gerber file. 1. The settings of PCB shape and size, generally are mechanic1,2 layers.2. Before generate the Gerber file, the preprocessed of PCB file.The preprocessed include:a. Add break away rails of PCBb. Add stamp hole.c. Add the m...
