At Quadra we’re happy to accept any form of input. Some of our customers provide completed CAD generated schematics, but we can work with a hand drawn sketch if required. This design stage is crucial to ensure the success of the design. We work with you to ensure 100% accuracy.
Data preparation can be a real pain – but making sure you have the necessary information available to create new library parts for your PCB design is a vital part of the process. Where library parts don’t exist, we collate your data sheets for you and verify them to ensure there are sufficient legible dimensions for the new part to be created.
There’s a lot that goes into printed circuit board design and over the years we have found that consultation is key. We dedicate time to working with you on all aspects of your circuit board design, system design, mechanical and environmental requirements, bare board manufacturing requirements plus assembly and test requirements, ensuring that you are kept in the loop throughout.
Whether you require just the bare PCB’s or assembled and tested circuit boards, we work with you to ensure your design hits the mark. As a complete service, you will only receive one quote for the full project, meaning less hassle for sign off internally!
PCB Reverse engineering is our speciality and not all companies can deliver these sort of projects. We can reverse engineer PCB's from virtually any source data including, gerber, obsolete CAD systems, bare PCB’s, PCB assemblies and even wiring lists. Our PCB reverse engineering skills also include the ability to convert legacy PCB designs that require modifications. Once complete we then provide you with the PCB and schematic files for future use.
Our capable and experienced printed circuit board designers are well-versed in signal, power integrity and RF requirements. Our PCB design services include board stack up and impedance profiles, implementation of constraints and topologies to govern your signal behaviour and verification. We work on Digital and Analog designs on a regular basis and can provide 3D clash detection and thermal analysis.
By default we work to the IPC 7351 specification for PCB footprints, however if you have your own CAD system we’re happy to adopt your library standards. As part of our PCB design services we are happy to do a spring clean on your behalf, bringing your library back under control and introducing structure and procedure to make your life easier.
We’re used to accepting 3D mechanical data in various formats such as STEP, IDF etc, and we have access to numerous tools from leading CAD providers. This means we can take your circuit design one step further by verifying component placement in the 3D environment.
Once your PCB design is completed, we ensure that it can be seamlessly incorporated back into your own systems. You may require complete PCB files, including a manufacturing pack, assembly drawings and a BOM – all of which is easily done.
