Hello everyone, please guide me on how to draw a LED light strip PCB circuit board, what software is better, I am learning DXP, no simulation... [Copy link]

 

Hello everyone, I want to ask for guidance on how to draw a LED light strip PCB circuit board, and what software is better to use. I am learning DXP, and I feel that it is not very good without simulation. Recently I work as an assistant in the engineering department, and I don’t know a lot about LED lighting, such as driver IC, SMD lamp beads, and PCB circuit board software wiring bureau. I want to ask the master for advice. Good people will be rewarded.

The predecessor of DXP is Protel, or Protel99. Protel2004 is generally called DXP. It has developed into Altium Designer2018. Any of these software can be used for drawing. There are also other drawing software that are relatively easy to use, such as OrCAD, PADS, etc. It is not complicated to make light strip PCB, and basically solve the problem on both sides. In fact, it is better to use a simpler software DXP, but it is relatively early and the operating system support is not good enough.

The process of making a light strip PCB is as follows: First, draw a schematic diagram of the LED light strip PCB circuit board, bind all the LEDs, current limiting resistors, connectors and other devices and device package libraries on the schematic diagram, then convert it into a PCB diagram, and then wire and check it, and then you can make a board.

I am very busy every day, making samples for electronic engineers and the sales department, and assembling finished products for structural engineers to test. They are also not available, and I just joined a new company, so I am too embarrassed to ask. So I can only download the software and explore slowly in the evening when I am free. Now I can use DXP to draw a simple power supply board on the Internet, but the position of the light strip is so narrow, I don’t know how to wire it, and I can’t find any examples on Baidu. I am counting on the masters to teach me some examples.

I understand schematics and I can draw them, but I get lost when it comes to making PCB boards.

I was still using DXP. Today I downloaded Altium Designer. It is almost the same. Now I practice with Altium Designer. Can you send me a PCB circuit board of a light bar using the software? In fact, I know how the light bar works and its principle. It is just series and parallel connection with resistors and capacitors to drive IC or transistors. I just don't know how to lay out the circuit. I have low cultural level.

Software is just a tool. You don't need to pay too much attention to which software it is. No matter which drawing software you use, there are two types of library files, one is the device library in the schematic diagram, and the other is the package library in the PCB diagram. It is recommended that the host first understand the meaning of these two libraries, especially the PCB package library, which must be consistent with the actual assembled device size. Each component in the schematic diagram must be bound to the PCB package library before the PCB diagram can be produced.

It is recommended that you draw a simple diagram first, familiarize yourself with the process from schematic diagram to PCB diagram, and then do the wiring. There should be many introductory video tutorials on drawing online.

I can't find the package or device of the SMD LED lamp bead on AD. Do I have to draw it myself? The kind with 4-6-8 pins.

SMD light-emitting diodes have 0805, 0603, 0402 and other packages. You can use the package of the SMD device to add a positive and negative pole mark. For example, if it is a high-power structure SMD package of 5730 (5630), 3030, 2835, etc., you can draw it yourself, or you can find the 4-6-8 pin one on the Internet? Which one is it?

It is best to draw it yourself according to the lamp bead manual provided by the manufacturer.

"4-pin or 6-pin or 8-pin SMD lamp beads" and similar statements can only mean that the poster is not familiar with the packaging form of LED lamp beads. Therefore, it is recommended to ask the lamp bead supplier for the PCB package library of the lamp beads, or the lamp bead manual will generally provide it, or provide a reference diagram to generate a library file in the software
