The scope is a simple description of functionalities of the PCB. You can list the functions of what the PCB or a detailed overall description of how the PCB will work or interact with another system. If you have a schematic, a scope may not be required, but may be helpful to compare the functionalities to the schematic.
X-Y dimensions or an approximate size. Typically, a max. size is needed to determine how many layers the PCB may need to be for fitment. It should also show the locations of components such as connectors or large processors which will need to be mounted in specific areas in order to meet form, fit, or function requirements. This is often referred to as a “key placement” document. The layout engineer will use this in conjunction with the component type specifics from the BOM, to help further understand how the available PCB surface area will be allocated. The placement document can show just the basic outlines of the components, or it can be fully dimensioned, with component locations, tooling holes, and keep-out zones defined.
Will the PCB need firmware? If so, please explain how the firmware will work or what it is to control. Required Components: Is there a specific component/Logic chip set you want to use for this design of the PCB? If so, please note and give an explanation.
How will the device be powered? Will it be battery operated or by AC/DC voltage? Please explain.
If any voltage outputs are required, please explain. The above requirements will be needed to start your design project. Once your documentation is reviewed by our Engineering Department, a web conference may be required to clarify any questions both parties may have. If there are no questions PNC will issue a quote for the design project.
