PWB Circuit Design & Other Board Design Solutions
We provide extensive knowledge and experience in PWB circuit design (digital, analog, RF, microwave, and impedance matching) and electrical engineering, from concept through configuration within both the commercial (IPC), military, and other diverse environments. We support state-of-the-art CAD software in order to achieve design flexibility and efficiency. Decades of experience, and interfacing directly with PWB manufacturer’s engineering staffs leads to understanding the needs of these fabricators and assembly facilities thereby producing designs which require less CAM tooling at the prototype stage, less ‘surprises’ at the assembly stage (such as unbalanced construction) and generally eliminating the need for expensive, time consuming, and (more importantly) unnecessary design iterations.
We achieve this through our philosophy and methods of stressing “communication” with our clients thereby understanding their goals and requirements. Rigorous attention to detail translates to asking every appropriate question and actively pursuing all the relevant information applicable to bringing the design to fruition rather than merely relying on the data supplied by the engineering liaison or client.
By exercising the highest level of “craftsmanship,” we design a board with fewer layers, fewer yet larger vias, wider tracks and spacing, and without errors. Craftsmanship means not relying on software-driven, automated design solutions such as auto-routers. When used appropriately, these tools can help in reducing design time, however, by themselves, they produce only poor to moderate quality work, more often requiring more layers, narrower design rules (trace and space), and always utilizing excessive vias.
