DfX (Design for Excellence)
presented by Dr Andrew Farrall CID+ BSc MSc PhD MIET IPC CID CIT
Design for Excellence overviews and collates the design iteration reviews for:
o Design for Manufacturing (or Fabrication) for PCB bare board
o Design for Assembly (electronic component attachment)
o Design for Test (PCB electronic assembly)
o Design for the Environment (operating criteria of PCB assembly)
o Design for Reliability (of the PCB electronic assembly)
· 1 day duration:
o Next course date: please contact.
o Location: To be decided.
· Theoretical based, with Certificate of attendance on completion for training record.
· Memory stick with e-copy of presented, material and additional resource information.
Schedule
Design / PCB fabrication / electronic assembly pathways
Industry fundamentals linked to IPC standards
Managing design complexity through the product life cycle
Design team dynamics
Design iterations:
o DfM / DfF
§ Generic tolerances to enable fabrication globally for improved yields and hence lower cost.
o DfA
§ Consideration of SMD and PTH placement criteria
§ soldering processes (reflow, intrusive reflow, wave, selective and hand)
§ Handling, panelisation, de-panelisation
o DfT
§ Test methodologies overview (functional, in-circuit, JTAG)
§ Inspection criteria
o DfE
§ Operating temperature ranges, storage temperature
§ Thermal balance and cooling options
§ Noise and voltage considerations with temperature
o DfR
§ Failure modes of PCBs and components including ESD
§ Design guidelines for good and bad practice
