Schematic Diagram
Block Diagram
A block is only a black box with certain
inputs and outputs, but performing a
definite function.
Schematic Diagram
A schematic diagram is a graphical
representation of interconnections of various
electronic, electrical and electromechanical
components of an equipment.
A PCB designer must learn how to read and
interpret the schematic diagram.
However, the schematic diagram does not show
any of the mechanical details of the printed
circuit board.
Schematic Diagram
The schematic provides the most broadly
used view of the design and includes all
components. In addition (Mentor Graphics,
2002):
It gives visibility into the status of all parts of
the design process;
Schematics are the primary source for
developing deliverables to product design and
manufacturing groups;
continued
Design variants are built around slightly differing
schematics;
Test departments rely on schematics;
Field service relies on schematics and
Bills-of-materials are generated from schematics.
Schematic Diagram
In a schematic
diagram the symbol
represents either
what the component
does in the circuit or
how it is physically
constructed.
Fixed, Polarized
(electrolytic)
Fixed, Non-Polarized
(mylar, ceramic)
Standards
All electronic components have been
designated when represented on a
schematic diagram. The common
classification are
ANSI (American National Standards Institute)
IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineers)
IEC (International Electrotechnical
Commission)
Reference Designators
(Component Identification,
IPC-DRM-18 F, Desk
Reference Manual)
Schematic Symbols
Schematic diagrams always use
standardized schematic symbols for the
different active and passive components.
