1. A major trend in PCB design is a gradual shift toward open source hardware models and control systems. Another significant trend is the explosive growth of development boards. PCB design tools are increasingly utilized in development board designs. This article will delve into how the industry has achieved low-cost PCB design and layout over the past 25 years.
2. As PCB design becomes more prevalent in conjunction with existing development boards, and as daughter boards drive hydraulic devices and servo motors or perform tasks involving light, motion, and sound, the trend in PCB design is increasingly leaning toward open source hardware models and control systems.
3. Another significant trend in PCB design is the explosive growth of development boards. In October 2013, a global survey was conducted among PCB designers, including professional engineers from 42 different countries.
4. The survey results reveal that nearly two-thirds of the respondents (64%) believe that development boards have somewhat reduced their demand for custom PCB designs. While this result might seem to threaten PCB design development, the reality is that PCB design tools are being used more extensively in development board designs.
5. However, since its inception, PCB design has not undergone fundamental changes. Innovative technologies in PCB design have focused on reducing the cost of development boards and shortening development times. Nevertheless, the PCB layout has remained fundamentally the same, with only the components and product performance evolving—this remains a primary source of design complexity.
To refine the article, I need to understand the target audience and context better. Are the readers primarily engineers, managers, or a mix of both?
