PCB reverse engineering is also known as PCB Copy, PCB cloning or PCB duplication. It is a reversely researching technology based on exisiting physical PCB boards.
PCB reverse engineering, that is, under the premise that there are already physical objects and circuit boards of electronic products, the reverse analysis technology is used to reversely analyze the circuit board, and the original product PCB file, bill of materials (BOM) file, schematic file, as well as the other production documents, such as PCB Gerber and PCB silk screen. Then use these engineering documents and production documents for PCB re-production, component soldering, flying probe test, circuit board debugging, in order to complete the entire copy of the original circuit board as sample.
Since electronic products are all composed of various types of circuit boards that form the core control part, the process of using PCB reverse engineering can realize the extraction of complete engineering materials of many electronic products already on the market, as well as the imitation of electronic products cloning.
How PCB Reverse Engineering Would Help PCB Design & Development
PCB reverse engineering is a reverse research technology that uses a series of reverse research techniques to obtain a PCB design, circuit schematic and a BOM for an existing & matual electronic design. A new product development that used to take two or three years to develop, now through reverse engineering technolgy, may take only a few months to complete.
In the past decade, the development of electronic technology has been changing with each passing day, and many electronic products have been upgraded at least once a year. Future electronic product updates may be faster. Many electronics engineers have felt that simply using conventional R&D methods can no longer meet the fast steps of modern electronic product replacement, and since there have been millions of matual design in the market, reverse engineering becomes an approach to fast adopt the market pace and catch up the top runners.
