Electronic product hardware design
Electronic products have penetrated into people's lives and become an irreplaceable and important life tool. Based on the needs of the times, the requirements for electronic products are getting higher and higher. How to speed up the improvement of the practicability of electronic products and how to improve their core in the market Competitiveness has become an important issue that practitioners in the electronic product industry need to solve urgently. But at the same time, the practicability of electronic products is closely related to its hardware design. Therefore, the exploration of the practicability of electronic products requires an in-depth analysis from the hardware design of electronic products.
1. Analysis of hardware design of electronic products
For the market and users of electronic products, the competitive conditions can be roughly divided into hardware design content and external design image. Based on a certain premise, hardware design conditions often directly determine the practical value of electronic products, and when users choose electronic products, they also choose products with higher cost performance among different hardware designs based on personal needs. This shows that hardware design is very important for electronic products. Product development has played a crucial role.
In our country, the hardware design of electronic products can often be directly linked to the production cost of the enterprise. The impact of changes in market competition. Taking mobile phones as an example, when two mobile phones are comparable in external conditions, users will often make purchase decisions based on the performance of the mobile phone, and high-quality performance is the guarantee of high sales, and high-quality performance can also promote other manufacturers. Improve your own design to strive for more market share, thus forming a healthy competitive environment.
2. The process of hardware design
Combined with the above analysis of the importance of hardware design for electronic products, some other questions we need to understand are, what is the specific process of hardware design? What factors make up hardware design that make it such an important part? In view of the above problems, this article will conduct an in-depth analysis by introducing three aspects: preparatory work, schematic diagram drawing, PCB diagram drawing and related component installation.
1. Preparatory work on hardware design
If the quality of hardware design is the key to the formation of core competitiveness of electronic products in the market, then the preparatory work for hardware design of electronic products is an important basis for the development of work for hardware design. The preparatory work of the hardware design is mainly related to project planning and corresponding preparatory work, that is, the project is divided into several areas according to different categories, and different areas are set up according to modules. It is worth noting that the components or other devices selected in the module erection should be based on the drawings, and the mainstream components with a longer service life and longer service life should be used as much as possible. After the erection is completed according to the drawings, the test should be carried out to ensure normal operation, and relevant Record the work for future review or return receipt. The importance of preparatory work in the early stage is not only reflected in its basicity, but also in that it needs to serve the follow-up work well. The preparatory work in the early stage directly determines whether the later work can be carried out normally, so it is extremely important.
2. About the drawing work of the schematic diagram
The packaging of components is based on the drawing of the schematic diagram, and the drawing of the schematic diagram needs to rely on the preparatory work in the early stage, which is interlocking. When drawing the schematic diagram, first draw the schematic diagram of the functional block according to the different circuits and components in different areas, then mark it, and start packaging after confirming that it is correct. The drawing of the schematic diagram is the core work of the hardware design of electronic products, and it also plays a role as a link between the past and the future. Based on the drawing of the schematic diagram, it is possible to analyze the entire design, find problems and mistakes in time and modify them. It can be said that the drawing of the schematic diagram It directly reflects whether the functionality of the hardware design of electronic products is good or not, and needs to be highly valued.
3. About drawing PCB diagram
The drawing of the PCB diagram is the last step in the hardware design process, and it is also the final step based on the improvement of the previous work. After completing the drawing of the schematic diagram, the component package in the schematic diagram is imported into the PCB diagram, and then the components are placed.
In this process, special attention should be paid to the placement order of components, the connection between components, and the actual related layout. After ensuring that the drawing size and position are accurate, the hardware design work is completed. It is worth mentioning that it is necessary to try to avoid overlapping in the connection relationship, which will directly affect the design requirements of the hardware design. Different electronic products have different requirements, and as the last step, it should be checked as a whole to avoid omissions.
3. Application of electronic product hardware design
Mobile phones, computers, cameras and other electronic products have become an inseparable part of people's lives. The application and practicality of electronic product hardware design can bring users the most intuitive feeling. It is not difficult to infer that the sales of the product itself will also Therefore, how to improve the practicability of products based on the application of hardware design has become a key issue.
1. Miniature electronic devices
Regarding the discussion of microelectronic devices, the author takes integrated circuits as an example. Integrated circuits are relatively small in size, light in weight, low in cost, and simple in structure. They meet the low energy consumption and high reliability requirements of current electronic products, and are one of the development directions of electronic products based on the development of the times. As far as integrated circuits are concerned, they can be seen not only in civilian electronic products, such as computers, televisions, etc., but also in military and communication fields. Due to the advantages and distribution density of integrated circuits, the equipment's Stability has come a long way, so it stands out both in terms of advancing electronic components and increasing the usability of products.
2. Application of memory devices
The application of the memory device actually refers to the application of the memory. The memory is an important part of the computer. The data can be stored and extracted through the memory, and then the data can be used. Memory is not only used in computers. Based on the development needs of the current era, almost all electronic products will use memory. So far, memory devices are roughly divided into two categories. One is ROM-based memory, which is for the system The program performs storage functions, and the other type is data-based storage.
4. Design for improving the practicability of electronic products
After a brief introduction to the application of hardware design in electronic products, it is necessary to explore how to improve the practicability of the product. Taking mobile phones as an example, during the use of mobile phones, the practicability of mobile phones is directly related to the hardware design of mobile phones. Such as: product wear and tear, that is, the service life and fluency problems in the service life, and functional wear and tear, that is, to ensure its timely maintenance performance when there is a problem with the product components during use. Based on these two points, the continuous improvement of the practicality of electronic products can be fully guaranteed.
1. Component wear and fluency
During the use of electronic products, it is inevitable that due to the age of use, frequency of use, use environment or other factors, the components of electronic products will be worn out. The wear and tear of components may directly damage the smoothness of use of electronic products or increase their failure. probability, thereby reducing product practicability. Therefore, in the hardware design of electronic products, the first thing to consider based on practicability is the wear and tear of the hardware design of electronic products, and evaluate the wear and tear of the current components through the existing loss values, and carry out the overall mechanism design on this basis Adjust and design components that can replace existing components and reduce loss values, and bring good experience to users on the basis of improving practicability.
Taking mobile phones as an example, after one to two years of use, there will be problems such as slow start-up of clicking software, slow switching of screens, or unsmooth operation processes. As a result, the replacement speed of mobile phones is accelerated. In the process of being eliminated too quickly, the ultimate loss is the enterprise itself. Only a good user experience can retain users for a long time, and wear and tear are inevitable. Reduce the loss value so that wear and tear will appear later or parts can be used. Replacement is the key. Only by fundamentally satisfying the practical needs of users for products can enterprises win market reputation and achieve long-term development.
2. Repairability of components based on wear and tear
To put it simply, maintainability means that when the components in electronic products are worn out, they can be repaired and replaced in time to continue the use of electronic products and improve the practicability of the products. When enterprises design the hardware of electronic products, they must take this into consideration. For hardware design components, choose a combination of components that are portable or can be integrated as much as possible, and improve the convenience of electronic product functions under hardware design. After the hardware design, appearance and fluency of electronic products reach a certain standard, we provide maintenance services for component wear and tear caused by long-term use of electronic products.
Taking a computer as an example, during the use of the computer year after year, it is inevitable that hardware components will be worn out. When the problem occurs, the user cannot replace or use other computers based on the importance of the files in the computer memory. The computer is repaired so that the computer can continue to provide services, and the component loss is generally caused by the aging of the components. During the maintenance process, attention should be paid to selecting the appropriate electronic components that can be replaced, which must conform to the design of the original electronic product hardware design The concept must also meet the needs of the continuous use of current electronic products, and avoid problems that may occur after replacing electronic components, such as long-term overheating of the fuselage and serious decline in product fluency.
5. Summary of hardware development technology for electronic products
No matter how convenient and rapid the development of technology is, the practicability of electronic products is always the core competitiveness of electronic products. Only by improving the practicability of products and meeting the needs of users in many ways can we occupy a place in the electronic product market. As an enterprise, we should not only see the petty profits in front of us, we must start to provide after-sales protection of the practicability of electronic products in terms of component wear and maintenance, and at the same time, fully consider all aspects in the original electronic product hardware design. Factors, fundamentally improve its practicality. It is hoped that the relevant workers can continue to explore in depth on this basis, and put forward more constructive suggestions and opinions for improving the practicability of electronic products.
