ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT BOARD COMPONENTS:


In today’s world of modern technologies, we see high tech PCBA 2devices all around us, from our houses to our offices, work places, roads, market places, education institutions everywhere we see modernization of technology and key to all these technologies is advancement in Electronics Industry.




What is Circuit Board:

A circuit board also known as PCB (Printed Circuit Board) is platform made of silkscreen, solder mask, copper, and pcb substrate. The substrate is FR-4 composite material made of woven fiber glass cloth with an epoxy resin binder which is fire retardant that is why named FR (Fire Retardant).


The components solder upon PCB to make it function as electronic device. The assembly is known as PCB Assembly or PCBA. The PCB is designed in a particular CAD software like ALTIUM, ORCAD, EAGLE etc. These software can generate the circuit design (Schematics) and then circuit designer can then layout PCB in this CAD software. This software then generates “GERBER”  file that can be fed into PCB fabrication machines to actually print tracks and fabricate PCB.


Electronic Devices and Equipment:

There are various electronic devices and equipment that contains electronic components. Some of them are Linear Power Supplies, Switch Mode Power Supply, Amplifier, Filters, Oscillators, Oscilloscope, Function Generator, Digital Multi-Meter,  Network Analyzers, Spectrum Analyzers etc. These are the laboratory equipment that are used to develop other electronic products like consumer electronics , industrial electronics, automobile industry, Military and Defense products.


Applications of Electronic Devices:

Some of the consumer electronic products include LED TV, LCDs, Android Mobiles, Telephones, Wearable electronics, gadgets, etc. Industrial products like PLC, Relays, Switches, Sensors, Actuators, Servo Motor drives, DC motor conveyer belt electronics etc. Automobile electronics include car charger, AM/FM radio electronics, GPS tracker/navigator, LED lights controls, relays, valves, fuses etc


How To Design a Circuit:

The electronic circuit design is based on the requirements from the customer. There are two main categories of components. 1- Active Components and 2- Passive Components


The active components are those that need power source to operated like OPAMPs, transistor, MOSFETs etc while the passive components are those that dissipate energy like resistors, capacitors, inductors etc.


Electronic Components:

Example 1: (Relay Switch Circuit)


circuit


Here in this circuit, we have selected NPN type BJT transistor BC337. This transistor is connected in common emitter mode and 1KΩ resistor is the base resistor used to control the base current . The 10KΩ resistor is used to tie the Base of BC337 to ground (GND) so that when trigger at input positive edge trigger is given, then the transistor will go in saturation and conducts through Collector and Emitter to short the GND to Relay coil. Hence Coil will energize and Normally Close (NC) the contacts of Relay.

On the other hand if the trigger is not applied transistor will remain in cutoff and C-E junction will remain open and GND is not shorted to coil of relay hence relay will remain in Normally Open (NO)


Transistors:

The two main types of transistors are BJT and MOSFET. The BJT transistor is a current controlled device and is commonly used in relay control switches.


Relay:

The relay is an Electromechanical electronic components, that has a coil and two contacts (NO and NC). This coil when 12VDC is applied the relay will change its state from NC to NO and vice versa




The relay are available in 5V, 12V, 24VDC coils and contacts ampere ranging from 10A to 30 A. So if you have to drive heavy load like water pump, Air Conditioner, Blower, Large Servo Motors, then use high ampere relays otherwise for small loads like bulb, LED lights etc use small relays.


Resistors

The resistor is used to control the current flow and divide the voltage as required. In our case above, we have used “Voltage Divider Network” that drops the voltage at 1KΩ and pass remaining potential to 10KΩ to the base. The table to recognize and select the proper resistor is given. The resistors are very cheap and available at every electronic store. They are available in SMD and Through hole types.



Example 2: (Power Supply)

Here in this circuit, we have used adjustable LM317 voltage regulator. The voltage regulator can generate stable DC Voltage output programmed by the two resistors R1 and RV1. Capacitor C3 is the bypass capacitor to connect adjust pin to GND to improve ripple rejection capability. C1,C2,C4   used to eliminate ripple voltage. Diode D5 is used to protect reverse current from output to protect regulator IC.


D1,D2,D3,D4 are full bridge converter to convert AC to DC level. RV1 is trim pot used to set the fixed output voltage.


Transformer:

The transformer is the device that converts high AC voltage like 230VAC to 24VAC low voltage to be used by bridge rectifier. The transformer is selected by finding turns ratio according to the primary and secondary voltages.


Diode

This is the semiconductor components, used in bridge rectifiers,fly-back / fly wheel purpose. This diode will forward bias and drop 0.7V across it. In semiconductor devices, Silicon is the important ingredient and proper doping will cause the barrier / junction creation.




Capacitor:

This passive component, is very common in electronics and used in dual and single power supplies. Main purpose is filtering. In timing circuits, it is used as RC timers. In OPAMP integrators used in feedback loop. The larger the rated voltage and capacitance, the larger the size of capacitor.


If the output voltage is regulated at 24VDC then the output ripple capacitor should be selected at rated voltage greater than 24V like around 100V. Otherwise the capacitor will burst or swollen. The longer lead is positive and smaller lead is negative leg.


Voltage Regulator:

The linear voltage regulators are available under 1A rating and can provide output voltage 1.2V to 438V DC. The voltage regulator is selected to check the least dropout voltage, number of outputs, output voltage polarity, input voltage range and packaging as desired case to case basis.


Potentiometer:

The trim pot is widely used in various electronic circuits. It is used in voltage divider circuits, to set the reference voltage in OPAMP comparator circuits, to set the output voltage in adjustable voltage regulators, used in RF circuits for tuning, used in timers to set the value of R in RC timers. The code 102 written means that



Soldering Electronic Components:

The most important tool in soldering the components is soldering iron itself. The tip of the iron is at 400oC and its tip can be replaced as required. Connect your iron to AC socket and wait till it gets hot enough. Then take a little soldering wire and touch at the tip, a smoke will raise indicating that iron is ready to solder. This little solder on the tip also helps the heat to flow from iron tip to joint. This process is called “tinning”


You must have a soldering iron stand, so you can place in it when not in use. Soldering should be done in place where there is ventilation. The smoke of solder wire is injurious to health


You should have a wet sponge so as to clean iron tip as required.  Now as your iron is ready, grab it like a pen and touch the iron tip with both soldering wire and joint. The joint is the point where component lead and PCB track needs connection. Now hold the tip at the joint for 1-2 seconds until the solder is formed like a “mountain”. After 1-2 seconds the solder cools and you see mountainous like shiny solder. This soldering is good. While if you see like balls of solder then this is not good.


Soldering Precautions:

1- Some components are heat sensitive, so applying solder tip too long will damage the component like transistors


2- Some components are ESD (Electro Static Discharge) sensitive, so you have to earth your hands before touching or unpacking these components from their special ESD protective packing


What is Solder:

Conventional solder is alloy of tin and lead, 60% tin and 40% lead. Melting point 200°C. Modern solder is lead free and alloy of tin along other metals like copper and silver. Melting point 220°C. Covering a surface with solder is known as ‘tinning’ due to tin content of solder.


De-soldering:

A solder sucker is used to de-solder the components from board. Apply iron tip at the joint, now as the solder melts apply sucker to suck the molten solder. Copper braid is also good, it absorbs the molten solder into itself away from the joint. Apply heat from iron tip to the joint until solder melts then introduce copper braid to soak the molten solder and then remove the copper braid then iron tip.


The main difference between industrial grade and automotive grade components


Automotive Grade vs Commercial Grade

The main difference between industrial-grade components and automotive-grade components is in the operating temperature range. Generally, the operating temperature range of industrial-grade components is -40°C to +85°C, while automotive-grade components are -40°C to +125°C. Furthermore, automotive-grade components have better performance, more robust temperature adaptability, and anti-interference capabilities than industrial-grade components.


This includes resistance to temperature limits, temperature differences, and other reliability, etc. The investigation found that the operating temperature range of some manufacturers’ industrial-grade components can also reach -40℃~+125℃ (such as ADI). The advantages of automotive-grade components are reflected in their performance and reliability. The main difference between them reflects the entire production, control, and testing links of the product.


1.Standard

Automotive-grade components are based on industrial-grade components and have stricter standards. ISO/TS 16949 standards and AEC standards have become the basic conditions for IC companies to enter the automotive industry chain.


1. ISO/TS 16949

The ISO/TS 16949 standard is a quality system management standard for the automotive industry developed based on ISO 9001: 2000. PPAP (Production Parts Approval Process) requires that automotive-grade components have detailed and complete data and documents. The PPAP document lists the production and quality assurance procedures required by the IC chip manufacturer.


PPAP is used to determine that the supplier has correctly understood all the requirements in the customer’s engineering design records and specifications during the actual mass production of parts and evaluates whether it has the potential to continuously meet these requirements, thereby ensuring the quality of the components.


2.AEC standards

The AEC (Automotive Electronics Council, Automotive Electronics Council) series standards that automotive-grade components mainly follow are AEC-Q100, AEC-Q101, AEC-Q001/Q002/Q003, etc.


AEC-Q100 is for active parts (microcontrollers and integrated circuits, etc.), mainly to prevent various possible conditions or potential opportunities for errors in products and guide suppliers to produce products that meet this specification during the development process. AEC-Q100 strictly confirms the quality and reliability of each application case. Also, it confirms whether the product datasheet, purpose of use and function description proposed by the manufacturer conform to the initially declared function and whether it can be used after multiple uses. Consistently.




This standard’s biggest goal is to improve the yield of products, whether in terms of product size, qualification rate, or cost. AEC-Q100 also specifies the requirements for IC devices in detail and also represents the requirements for product safety of automotive-grade device manufacturers. AEC-Q100 regulates a total of 41 tests in 7 categories:


(1) Group A- ACCELERATED ENVIRONMENT STRESS TESTS: A total of 6 tests, including PC, THB, HAST, AC, UHST, TH, TC, PTC, HTSL.


(2) Group B-ACCELER-ATED LIFETIME SIMULATION TESTS: A total of 3 tests, including HTOL, ELFR, EDR.


(3) Group C-Package ASSEMBLY INTEGRITY TESTS has six tests: WBS, WBP, SD, PD, SBS, and LI.


(4) Group D-DIE FABRICATION RELIABILITY TESTS has five tests: EM, TDDB, HCI, NBTI, and SM.


(5) Group E- ELECTRICAL VERIFICATION TESTS: A total of 11 tests, including TEST, FG, HBM/MM, CDM, LU, ED, CHAR, GL, EMC, SC, SER.


(6) Group F- DEFECT SCREENING TESTS has 11 tests, including PAT and SBA.


(7) Group G- CAVITY PACKAGE INTEGRITY TESTS: A total of 8 tests, including MS, VVF, CA, GFL, DROP, LT, DS, IWV.


The AEC-Q101 standard is aimed at discrete components and includes stress testing (inclusion testing methods) for separating semiconductor components.


AEC-Q001/Q002/Q003 standards are mainly guiding principles. AEC-Q001 mainly proposes the Parametric Part Average Testing (PPAT) method, a statistical method used to detect abnormal characteristics of outer semiconductor components and remove abnormal components from all products. AEC-Q002 is based on statistical principles, and it is a statistical yield analysis.


It provides component manufacturers with statistical techniques to detect and remove abnormal chip components. It is widely used to make early detection in the wafer and bare die stages. . AEC-Q003 is a characteristic guideline proposed for the typical performance of chip tea farmers. It is used to generate specifications and datasheets for products, processes, or packaging.


The purpose is to analyze data on mobile phone components and to understand this component and process. The properties, performance, and limitations of these components check the temperature, voltage, frequency, and other parameter characteristics of these components or equipment.


In each process of components production, there will be corresponding inspections of process quality. Simultaneously, a complete set of testing and screening of the components will be carried out after production. The test of industrial-grade components is generally performed at room temperature to inspect the various indicators shown in the product manual.


While the automotive-grade components are fully inspected, and inspection will be performed at -40~+125°C or equivalent temperature environment. At the same time, automotive-grade electronic components will be inspected according to the AEC Q100 standard, which greatly improves the product yield and product consistency.


2.Material selection and design

Generally, the main materials used in the production process of the device are Wafer, Lead Frame, Epoxy, Bond Wire, Mold Compound.


The main methods of material selection and design for automotive-grade devices are as follows:




(1) There is no difference in the material selection and design of industrial-grade components (components differences are reflected in the follow-up process and testing links).


(2) Consider better temperature adaptability of automotive-grade components, use better materials or better packaging designs, such as using ceramic packaging materials, adding heat sink designs, etc.


According to the research of ADI and TI, there are two methods in material selection and design. There is no evidence, which is better; it is generally according to product demand.


3.Production process and testing

The entire production operation has a mature and complete process from material quality inspection, components production, components testing, screening, and final storage. Compared with industrial-grade components, automotive-grade components are stricter in testing and screening due to their higher temperature adaptability, product consistency, and reliability requirements.


The components’ general production process is shown in the figure below. The yellow highlighted part indicates that there are more screening processes for automotive-grade components than industrial-grade components.


Electronic Components Manufacturing Process

Table 1 Production process

 

Steps  Detail  Mark
 Incoming quality control  Incoming quality inspection of wafers, lead frames, silver paste, bonding wires, molding materials, etc.  
 Grinding disc  The wafer from the fab will be back-grinded to reduce the wafer’s thickness to the package thickness (8mils~10mils). When grinding the wafer, it is necessary to stick tape on the front to protect the circuit area and grind the back at the same time. After grinding, remove the tape and measure the thickness.  
 Wafer cutting  Paste the wafer on the mylar so that it will not fall apart even after being cut; cut the entire wafer into individual dices through the saw blade, which is convenient for the subsequent die attach process; clean the wafer and clean the dust produced.  
 chip Bonding  Put silver paste on the pad of the lead frame.  
 Silver paste curing   175℃, 1 hour; N2 environment, prevent oxidation.  
 Wire bonding  Use high-purity gold and copper wires to connect pad and lead frame; quality control (gold wire neck and tail tension, gold ball thrust, gold wire arc height, gold ball thickness, crater test, intermetallic compound test).  
Wire Bond L/A  After the lead welding is complete, perform microscope sampling to observe the welding quality. If it fails, the entire batch of products and the products out of the lead welding equipment will be subject to a more stringent quality inspection.  Automotive-grade components
 Injection molding  The process of using EMC to encapsulate the finished product after wire bonding requires heating, hardening, and laser typing after injection (product model, production batch information, etc.).  
X-Ray L/A  An X-Ray inspection is added for automotive-grade devices to check the internal quality of the chip after injection. Automotive-grade components
 Post-mold curing Used for curing of plastic packaging materials after molding, protecting the internal structure of IC, and eliminating internal stress (175±5℃, 8hrs).  
Reflow  Add items for automotive-grade components, simulate the SMT process environment, and go through 3 times to screen out defective products. Automotive-grade components
 Cutting ribs and profile  Cut a piece of the lead frame into individual units (IC), and shape the pins to meet the shape required by the process.  
100%VM  Add items for automotive-grade components, conduct microscope appearance inspections on the components, pay attention to whether there are cracks between the pins and the molded body, whether the pins are acceptable and whether there are burrs, etc.  Automotive-grade components
  Testing  Test all the parameters of the product manual. Industrial-grade components are tested at room temperature. Automotive-grade components are usually tested at room temperature and high-temperature environments. Some components will also have low-temperature tests. In addition, automotive-grade devices will also follow the AEC series. Car-level special standards for testing (AEC-Q100 automotive-level device verification process is shown in Figure 2)  
Components complete  After the components have passed the test, they will be bagged and put into storage in accordance with the corresponding tape/roll/tube requirements to complete the entire production process

Military Grade electronic components


Military electronic components are an important cornerstone of weapons and equipment. With the development of science and technology and national defense construction, more and more components are used in weapons and equipment. How to query, count, exchange, process, and uniformly manage component information with many categories and complex parameters is an urgent problem faced by research and development units, production units, users, and management departments.


Scientific and standardized electronic components classification is an important basic work for enterprise informatization and improving the management level of electronic components. At present, all the major companies and industrial departments in my country manage their components according to their classification methods, either by function or process or by inheriting engineering experience, lacking a unified and standardized classification system and parameters measures.


This status is not conducive to data sharing, nor does it have good interchangeability between them. It also brings many inconveniences to the management of military electronic components (such as quality establishment, inspection, acceptance, evaluation, etc.).


Therefore, establishing a standard and reasonable military electronic components classification is the prerequisite and basis for standardizing military electronic components. The reasonable classification of military electronic components also plays a significant role in preventing the repeated research and development of similar products, the excessive expansion of product varieties, and the enhancement of product versatility and serialization.


At the same time, the scientific and effective classification of military electronic components will also play a guiding role in the standardization of civilian product classification. Since military electronic components are common for military and civilian use, scientific and effective classification is conducive to the integration of military and civilians. This can promote the conversion of more civilian products to military use, make full use of the industrial advantages of civilian products, and also help military electronic components.




Manufacturers open up the civilian product market and expand the production scale. Scientific and effective classification of military electronic components is also of great significance to the internationalization of general electronic components. These are the basis for improving the quality level and technical level of military electronic components.


2 Introduction to FSC

FSC is the abbreviation of Federal Supply Classification, that is, “Federal Supply Classification.” FSC was developed and adopted by the Office of the United States International Secretariat to classify the commodities in the federal government’s supply system and complete the classification of all commodities using “groups” and “classes.”


The structure of FSC adopts a secondary classification. The class number uses 4 Arabic numerals. The first two digits of the number indicate “group.” FSC currently has 78 groups from 10 to 99. These 78 groups are also called “Federal Supply Groups” (FSG), of which 21, 27, 33, 50, 64, 82, 86, 90, 92, 97, 98 are not currently used. “Groups” are sometimes referred to as “large categories.”


The last two digits represent the categories under the group, and 78 groups are further divided into 643 categories (April 2002 edition). For example, 5962, where “59” represents the group of “electrical and electronic equipment components” and “62” represents “microelectronic circuits.” The coding of classes is not continuous, which allows the classes under the group to be expanded when needed.


When searching in the “U.S. Military Standard Database,” you can search with the “59” group or the “5962” category number. The overall structure of FSC is arranged by class number.  pay attention to the main items included and not included after the class number to clarify the scope of the class.


The FSC is also the basis for the US military standard classification because the US military standards are extensive and involve a wide range of specialties. The FSC classification is a reasonable classification method.  Standard documents often change and develop. The changes and adjustments of the FSC classification and U.S. military standards interact with each other. These changes and adjustments reflect the rapid development of science and technology and the development of standards and management.


The classification of FSC brings convenience to the computer management of product information supplied and purchased by the US Federal. Furthermore, the classification also leaves room for further refinement of product categories.


3 FSC Electronic Components Related Group

FSC classification involves almost all industrial products, and group 59 is “electrical and electronic equipment components,” which we often refer to as electronic components group.


FSC60-Optoelectronic components are also regarded as electronic components. In addition, in group 61 and 62, some military electronic components are also included. If the special equipment and laboratory equipment of electronic components are considered, they are included in group 37 and 66. The names and descriptions of these groups are listed in Table 1.

Military electronic components are an important cornerstone of weapons and equipment. With the development of science and technology and national defense construction, more and more components are used in weapons and equipment. How to query, count, exchange, process, and uniformly manage component information with many categories and complex parameters is an urgent problem faced by research and development units, production units, users, and management departments.

FSC, as a federal supply classification of the United States, is a relatively reasonable classification for military electronic components. When the research and development unit of the General Assembly makes new product declarations, it uses the FSC method to expand the product categories with numbers. Firstly, classify the FSC categories, and then refine them layer by layer.




For example, 5962-01010101, where 5962 represents “integrated circuit,” 5962-01 represents “semiconductor integrated circuit” under integrated circuit, 5962-0101 represents “analog integrated circuit” in semiconductor integrated circuit, and 5962-010101 represents analog integrated circuit. The “amplifier” 5962-01010101 represents the “operational amplifier” in the amplifier. Of course, this method requires further optimization and needs to be approved by all user units.
