PCB Layout Design

The company provides services in making PCB layouts of any levels of complexity with BGA components.PCB layout design, printed circuit boards with BGA-packages

Within the terms of the service of PCB development we provide the following:

  • Design various types of PCB:
    • Analog, digital, high-frequency
    • Single-sided and double-sided printed-circuit-boards
    • Multilayer printed circuit boards with BGA-packages, with blind and buried vias
  • Construction 3D models
  • Analysis of signal integrity (SI)
  • Analysis of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
  • Thermal modeling
  • Assistance in maintaining PCB manufacture and mounting

PCB design case studies

PCB Layout Design

Process of PCB design is done in several stages. During the whole design cycle, we take into account DFT and DFM requirements and analyze device's thermal operating mode. Development is carried out in conformity with IPC standards.

Initial data

To start working on a PCB design we require from the customer minimal initial data in the form of electric circuit scheme, the list of elements and requirements specifications.

Creation of component library

We form cells according to JEDEC or IPC norms.

Preliminary configuration

We arrange the components according to the requirements, fix components with rigid arrangement. According to the possibilities/requirements we can make a proposal for changing PCB dimensions. At this stage we can provide the client with a 3D model for conforming design requirements by dimensions and mounting parameters. Discussing implicit requirements (additional plug connectors, additional test points or test sockets, etc.).

Layout

We perform final placement of elements, optimize connections, set traces parameters and layout rules, define number of layers and perform trace routing (wiring). If required, we can calculate characteristic and differential impedance by using special-purpose utilities. If necessary, we can model transient phenomena in circuits, analyze signal integrity, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), thermal modes.

Verification

Company's technical experts perform additional control which minimizes the probability of mistakes.

Acceptance

We finalize and transfer the complete set of the design documentation in conformity with customer's requirements.

As a result the customer receives:

  • The project file in the appropriate design environment;
  • Files for PCB manufacture (Gerber 274-X, CAM350);
  • The complete set of the PCB design documentation including mounting drawing, specification and PCB drawing, formatted in conformity with ESKD standards or according to the customer's requirements.

Design and modeling environments

Our specialists have skills in using the following packages and environments:

  • Mentor Graphics VB2000, WG2002-2005
  • CADENCE.SPB 15.7 (OrCAD, Allegro)
  • PCAD 200x
  • MDT (AutoCAD)
  • Signal Vision and Signal Analyzer
  • HyperLynx

You can order PCB layout design separately or as part of the full cycle of electronic device development.
