IPC - 2226

IPC-2226 sets best practices for high-density interconnect (HDI) PCB design, addressing microvias, stacked and staggered vias, buried vias, and via-in-pad structures.It provides clear guidance on aspect ratios, annular rings, and via reliability, enabling designers to optimize space while maintaining signal integrity at highspeeds.Using IPC-2226 ensures that advanced products—such as smartphones, wearables, 5G modules, and aerospace electronics—benefit from compact layouts without compromising manufacturability or durability.

IPC - 7351

IPC-7351 defines land pattern design rules for creating accurate and consistent component footprints on printed circuit boards (PCBs).It standardizes pad dimensions, solder mask openings, and placement tolerances, which is crucial for automated assembly and reflow soldering.Adhering to IPC-7351 improves assembly yields, minimizes solder defects, and supports dense HDI layouts, making it indispensable for PCB designs in consumer electronics, industrial automation, and IoT devices where space and reliability are critical.

How does PCB design work?

PCB Design Step Description
Schematic Capture Designers create a circuit diagram that maps out all components and electrical connections. This serves as the blueprint for the PCB layout.
Component Placement Components are strategically positioned to optimize space, minimize signal path lengths, and improve thermal dissipation. Placement affects performance, EMI, and assembly efficiency.
Routing & Trace Design Electrical traces connect components according to the schematic. Proper trace width, spacing, and layer assignment are critical for signal integrity and current capacity.
Layer Stack-Up Planning For multi-layer PCBs, designers decide the arrangement of power, ground, and signal layers to reduce noise, crosstalk, and EMI while improving mechanical stability.
Design Rule Checks (DRC) Automated software verifies spacing, trace widths, and other design parameters to ensure manufacturability and compliance with IPC standards.
Simulation & Signal Integrity Analysis High-speed or sensitive circuits undergo simulations to prevent signal loss, reflections, or timing issues, ensuring reliable performance in the final product.
Thermal Management Considerations Designers plan for heat dissipation through copper pours, thermal vias, and component placement to prevent overheating and ensure longevity.
Gerber File Generation Once the layout is complete, the design is exported into manufacturing files (Gerbers), which guide the PCB fabrication process.
Prototype Testing & Iteration A prototype PCB is manufactured and tested for electrical performance and manufacturability. Necessary adjustments are made before mass production.

Professional PCB Design Workflow at HighPCB – From Concept to Production

PCB Design Process at HighPCB:

At HighPCB, our PCB design process is meticulously structured to ensure high-quality, reliable, and manufacturable circuit boards. By combining advanced tools, proven methodologies, and experienced engineers, we deliver production-ready PCB designs optimized for performance, durability, and cost-effectiveness. Our process covers every stage from concept to final production, guaranteeing that your boards meet the strictest industry standards.

Concept & Layout:

The first step in our PCB design process involves comprehensive concept development and layout planning. Our team conducts detailed Design Rule Checks (DRC), stack-up analysis, and DFx (Design for Excellence) evaluations to ensure your design is optimized for signal integrity, thermal management, and manufacturability. Every trace, via, and component placement is strategically planned to meet your specific performance and space requirements.

Simulation & Verification:

After the initial layout, we perform extensive electrical, thermal, and signal integrity simulations. Using state-of-the-art software, we analyze power distribution, impedance, crosstalk, and thermal hotspots. This ensures that your high-speed, high-frequency, or mixed-signal PCB will function flawlessly under real-world conditions while minimizing the risk of design failures.

Prototype Testing:

Rapid prototyping allows us to validate your PCB design before full-scale production. Functional testing, flying-probe inspections, and high-potential (HiPot) testing are conducted to verify electrical connectivity, insulation resistance, and component placement accuracy. This stage helps detect potential issues early, saving time and reducing costs during mass production.

Compliance & Certification:

All our PCB designs follow IPC-2221/2226 design rules, with fabrication meeting IPC-6012 and IPC-A-600 acceptability standards, and assembly complying with IPC-A-610 workmanship requirements, along with RoHS, UL, and EMC certifications. By adhering to these standards, we ensure that your boards are safe, environmentally compliant, and ready for global market deployment. Our team also prepares documentation to facilitate certification and regulatory approval for your products.

Production Ready:

The final stage focuses on Design for Manufacturing (DFM) optimization, ensuring that your PCBs are fully manufacturable with minimal risk of defects. We provide complete assembly support, including SMT and through-hole processes, stencil fabrication, and conformal coating. By integrating manufacturability considerations early in the design, HighPCB ensures high yield, cost efficiency, and reliable performance in large-scale production.
