The boss says, ÒDesign a printed circuit assembly!Ó What exactly are you supposed to do? This handy little guide explains it all, from calling a project kick-off meeting to managing the productÕs end-of-life. Designing electronic circuitry isnÕt coveredÑyou already know how to do that. Rather, the guide shows how to run your program successfully, meeting the needs of all the groups in your company who are affected by your PCA. Topics include: Ã Writing, negotiating, and signing off specifications. Ã Breadboarding and prototyping PCAs. Ã Designing and fabricating printed circuit boards. Ã Procuring parts and assembling PCAs. Ã Bringing up, debugging, and verifying PCAs. Ã Certifying PCAs and releasing them to manufacturing. Ã Providing cross-functional support. Whether you just earned your engineering degree or you are an experienced engineer who hasnÕt yet developed a printed circuit assembly for mass production, DEVELOPING PRINTED CIRCUIT ASSEMBLIES is the guide for you.
