PCBA Reverse Engineering Purpose
PCBA Reverse Engineering Purpose
When talk about the PCBA Reverse Engineering Purpose, without the assistance of current existing layout drawing, production gerber file or schematic diagram, turn a physical PCBA circuit board sample into clone or copy, call reverse engineering PCBA project. This project normally requires relative hardware facility and software to accomplish.
When we will require a PCBA Reverse Engineering Implementation?
The original manufacturer don’t produce this kind of electronic product include the PCBA circuit board inside it anymore;
Design/Layout drawing and production GERBER file of printed circuit board of the electronic product haven’t been retained and stored properly;
Customer still has demand on this product but the original manufacturer don’t produce it anymore;
Original PCBA file and documents have been lost or never exist;
Some defects inside the PCBA due to the inferior quality design should be modified and redesigned, such as the overheat caused by bad thermal dissipation or signal interruption due to the layout rules haven’t been followed properly;
Reinforce the good features of the electronics product especially the PCBA part after long time operation;
Analyze the advantage or disadvantage of competitor’s electronic product, as well as the PCBA;
Explore and research the new ways to modify the printed circuit board functionality and characteristic;
Develop better product through better knowledge and understanding of competitor’s standard testing method;
The original manufacturer or supplier isn’t capable of or willing to provide extra work;
The original facility manufacturer don’t want to or can’t provide the substitute services, or dramatically increase the price due to the only source of this printed circuit board part;
Use more advanced and cheaper technology to upgrade the out-of-date material or old fashion process technology;
