Discussion on connecting other IPC standards through the Digital Twin Interoperability architecture that this standard defines. The “PCB Digital Twin” will be one of these topics, potentially combining IPC-2552 MBD, IPC-2581 DPMX, IPC-2591 CFX, as well as security and privacy discussions, prompting the use of W3C Verifiable credentials, as in discussion for the IPC-2553 Sustainability standard.

2-40 Electronic Documentation committee meeting

Wednesday April 10th, 2024, 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM Room 208A

To discuss proposed major revisions to the IPC-D-325 and IPC-26xx documents to modernize them. The current standards are based on Gerber data and epaper drawings and files. I am asking for support to modernize the IPC electronic documentation to be IPC-2581 based and eliminate sending design requirements on drawings, spreadsheets, etc. Users can use existing excellent commercial software to create drawings if they want them.
