PCB DESIGN & LAYOUT

SERVICES PROVIDED

• An initial consultation to discuss your design is always free.
• We can help you select the right parts for your PCB design.
• We can take your schematic in any form (pdf, sketch, etc.) and convert it into a proper electronic CAD format.
• We will create Altium schematic symbols and PCB footprints for each part in your design.
• After completing the schematic, we will submit it for your review.
• We will create a PCB outline and do a preliminary placement of all parts.
• Upon your approval of the parts placement, we will continue with the detailed PCB layout.
• If your design needs flex or rigid/flex technology, we can help.
• We can also help you design firmware for your designs that contain microcontrollers and/or CPLDs or FPGAs.

DELIVERABLES

• Complete Altium Project File including:
  • Schematics
  • PCB Layout
  • Output Settings File
• DFM (Design for Manufacturing) Checks
  • We use CAMMaster and EMS Magician to check your design for DFM errors.
  • If you wish, you can provide a custom DFM Rule set to control the DFM process.
  • Silkscreen clipping is performed automatically if needed.
  • 3D view of both front and back side of PCB.
• Fabrication Files:
  • Gerber Files
  • Drill Files
  • Rout data for PCB cutouts
  • BOM, including unit and 1,000 piece parts cost.
  • Pick and Place file (centroid data) for automated assembly.
  • Assembly Drawings.
  • Firmware files (if needed).
• Panelized Data – If your design can benefit from panelization, we will include at no additional charge.
  • We add PCB fiducials.
  • We add PCB rails with both fiducials and tooling holes.
  • You can specify X by Y array parameters.
  • We can add mouse bites and/or V-Scoring.
  • The same files that are provided for the one-up design are provided for the panelized version.
