Abstract

This paper describes the complete cycle of a hardware product development from analyzing or writing its specification and schematic capture to PCB design and manufacturing. Also, the paper describes the technology of fabricating 4-layer boards, what they’re used for and their advantages, as well as their implementation in developing this device.
