The difference between PCB board and development board
PCB board is a printed circuit board, which is the support body for the electrical connection of electronic components. At present, PCB boards are mainly composed of lines and graphics, dielectric layers, and holes. According to the number of layers of the circuit board, it can be divided into single-sided boards, double-sided boards, four-layer boards,six-layer boards and higher-layer multi-layer boards.
The difference between PCB board and development board
PCB boards have many colors, that is, the color of solder mask, but the color of PCB boards is usually green. As for why, I wrote an article before (Why are the colors of PCB circuit boards mostly green? ) Articles, if you are interested, you can go to learn more, here I will not explain more. Solder mask is an insulating protective layer used to protect copper wires and prevent parts from being soldered to incorrect places. A screen printing surface will also be printed on the solder mask. Usually words and symbols (mostly white) are printed on this to mark the position of each part on the board. The screen printing surface is also called the icon surface.
The development board (demoboard) is a circuit board used for embedded system development, including a series of hardware components such as central processing unit, memory, input device, output device, data path/bus, and external resource interface.
Development board
Development boards are generally customized by embedded system developers according to development needs, or they can be researched and designed by users. The development board is for beginners to understand and learn the hardware and software of the system. At the same time, some development boards also provide a basic integrated development environment and software source code and hardware schematics. Common development boards are 51, ARM, FPGA, and DSP development boards.
The above is the difference between PCB board and development board. iPCB is a high-tech manufacturing enterprise focusing on the development and production of high-precision PCB. iPCB is happy to be your business partner. Our business goal is to become the most professional prototyping PCB manufacturer in the world. Mainly focus on microwave high frequency PCB, high frequency mixed pressure, ultra-high multi-layer IC testing, from 1+ to 6+ HDI, Anylayer HDI, IC Substrate, IC test board, rigid flexible PCB, ordinary multi-layer FR4 PCB, etc. Products are widely used in industry 4.0, communications, industrial control, digital, power, computers, automobiles, medical, aerospace, instrumentation, Internet of Things and other fields.
