  2. Printed circuit board - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printed_circuit_board

    The IPC preferred term for an assembled board is circuit card assembly (CCA), [19] and for an assembled backplane it is backplane assembly. "Card" is another widely used informal term for a "printed circuit assembly". For example, expansion card. A PCB may be printed with a legend identifying the components, test points, or identifying

  3. Printed circuit board manufacturing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printed_circuit_board...

    A PCB milling machine (referred to as a 'PCB Prototyper') operates in a similar way to a plotter, receiving commands from the host software that control the position of the milling head in the x, y, and (if relevant) z axis. Laser resist ablation involves spraying black paint onto copper clad laminate, then placing the board into CNC laser ...

    Dell Precision T3600 System Motherboard, used in professional CAD Workstations. Manufactured in 2012. A motherboard (also called mainboard, main circuit board, MB, mobo, base board, system board, or, in Apple computers, logic board) is the main printed circuit board (PCB) in general-purpose computers and other expandable systems.

  6. Process control block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_control_block

    A process control block (PCB), also sometimes called a process descriptor, is a data structure used by a computer operating system to store all the information about a process. When a process is created (initialized or installed), the operating system creates a corresponding process control block, which specifies and tracks the process state (i ...

    A Full-size Module is the most common, allowing up to 23.25 mm high components (from centerline of PCB). A Mid-size Module allows component heights maxed at 11.65 to 14.01 mm (depending on board location). A Compact Module allows only 8.18 mm.

  8. Surface-mount technology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface-mount_technology

    Surface-mount technology (SMT), originally called planar mounting, [1] is a method in which the electrical components are mounted directly onto the surface of a printed circuit board (PCB). [2] An electrical component mounted in this manner is referred to as a surface-mount device ( SMD ).

  9. Routing (electronic design automation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Routing_(electronic_design...

    In electronic design, wire routing, commonly called simply routing, is a step in the design of printed circuit boards (PCBs) and integrated circuits (ICs). It builds on a preceding step, called placement , which determines the location of each active element of an IC or component on a PCB.
