PCB Technical - PCB copy board definition and development history

PCB copy board, currently in the industry is often referred to as circuit board copy board, circuit board clone, circuit board copy, PCB clone, PCB reverse design or PCB reverse research and development. Regarding the definition of PCB copy board, how much does the industry and academia have This kind of argument, but they are not complete. If we want to give an accurate definition of PCB copy board, we can learn from the authoritative PCB copy board laboratory in China: PCB copy board, that is, there are physical objects of electronic products and circuit boards. Under the premise of, use reverse research and development technology to reversely analyze the circuit board, and restore the original product's PCB files, bill of materials (BOM) files, schematic files and other technical files and PCB silk screen production files at 1:1. Then use these technical documents and production documents for PCB manufacturing, component welding, flying probe testing, circuit board debugging, and complete the complete copy of the original circuit board template. Since electronic products are composed of various types of circuit boards, the core control part performs work. Therefore, the use of a process of PCB copying can complete the extraction of a full set of technical data of any electronic product and the imitation and cloning of products.

Many people have misunderstood the concept of PCB copy board. In fact, with the continuous development and deepening of the copy board industry, today's PCB copy board concept has been extended to a wider range and is no longer limited to simple circuit board copying and cloning., It will also involve the secondary development of products and the research and development of new products. For example, through the analysis and discussion of existing product technical documents, design ideas, structural features, process technology, etc., it can provide feasibility analysis and competitive reference for the development and design of new products, and assist R&D and design units to follow up the latest in time Technological development trends, timely adjustment and improvement of product design plans, and research and development of the most competitive new products in the market. At the same time, the process of PCB copying can realize the rapid update, upgrade and secondary development of various types of electronic products through the extraction and partial modification of technical data files. Customers wish to optimize the design and board modification of the PCB, and on this basis, they can also add new functions to the product or redesign the functional features, so that products with new functions will be unveiled at the fastest speed and in a brand-new posture. Not only has its own intellectual property rights, but also won the first opportunity in the market, bringing double benefits to customers.

At present, when many PCB copy board design service companies are struggling to survive and pursue profits in the market, a few companies have begun to establish their position at a higher level and become the leader in the industry. Among them, the most successful and the largest, The strongest technical strength and the most comprehensive service are Longren PCB Studio, Century Core and other folk reverse R&D technical teams that first emerged in China. Their success proves that PCB copy board contains huge energy. This energy is not only for copy-board design service companies, but also for the entire electronic product market and the information technology industry, because objectively they promote the technical capabilities of Chinese companies and completely break down technical barriers.

Development History

The concept of PCB copy board was originally born in the 1980s when reverse engineering began to emerge in the domestic academia. It was a brand new concept proposed by Longren PCB Studio, a reverse engineering technology research team originally established in China at that time. It has gone through nearly 30 years. Years of development, at present, PCB copy board has become a global industry serving the development of the global electronics industry and domestic core technology research, and various copy board companies at home and abroad have also blossomed everywhere. In recent years, the development of this industry and the various sensations it has caused in the field of science and technology have caused more and more people to pay attention to it, and more companies have entered the technology to dare to compete with international large enterprises through their services. The age of contending. Especially in China's Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Guangdong, PCB copy board is more popular, and a number of authoritative laboratories specializing in PCB copy board technology research have emerged, such as Longren PCB Studio, Century Chip Technology, Chip Valley and so on.
