What’s included

Two Integra Sources specialists are discussing a project to create a technical specification.

Technical Specification

Preparing a project specification is an important part of custom PCB design and layout services. It provides a clear vision of the future product and its cost. The document includes technical requirements, block diagrams, deliverables, assumptions, a preliminary bill of materials (BOM), and BOM costs, as well as tools and technologies to be used.

Schematic Design

PCB board design always starts with building a high-level block chart of the device. Then we design schematics. A circuit diagram conveys the connection between integrated circuits (ICs) and discrete components. Our team uses professional CAD software, such as Altium Designer, to define modules and design the connectivity between different elements of the board.

PCB Layout Services

We draw a PCB layout – the physical interpretation of the schematics. We take into consideration the required number of layers and the size of the enclosure, analyze signal integrity, and evaluate electrical limitations to ensure the safety of the product. Proper conductor routing is key to lowering the manufacturing cost. We run DFM/DFA analysis to minimize PCB design revisions, cut development costs, and reduce time to market.

Prototype Fabrication and Testing

Once the layout is ready, Integra’s PCB designers create a Gerber file used to manufacture a prototype and a 3D model of the PCB to make sure it fits the enclosure. We also provide the manufacturer with the data and software necessary to perform an electrical and impedance test. After the prototype is manufactured, we test it in-house to make sure it works as intended.

Assistance with Mass Production

After validating the prototype, we prepare documentation for mass production, help the customer find a manufacturer, and place the order. We can also develop special software, hardware, and testing procedures so that the manufacturer can test each PCB at the factory.

Warranty Period

When the project is finished, we create a full document package that comprises BOM and Gerber files, 3D models, and technical manuals. In addition, we set a warranty period for our PCB design services. During this period, we fix bugs and provide other technical support covered by the warranty. After the warranty period ends, we stay in touch with our customers and provide consultations when needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Read this information to better understand Integra’s PCB design services.

What do I get when the project is finished?

Upon project completion, the customer receives a fully functional PCB, detailed technical documentation, the source code of the firmware, and PCB design files in a CAD format. The customer will receive all the necessary instructions on how to use the product. We will also answer any questions and provide training if necessary.

Do you do receipt inspections of the components you receive?

Yes, we carefully select materials and components, trying to find a balance between their quality and price with consideration to the project requirements. All materials we use comply with the EN, IPC, and RoHS international standards. If required, we will use components that comply with the national regulations of your country.

What about intellectual property rights?

The cession of intellectual property rights is legislated in our contracts. We also sign a non-disclosure agreement to protect any sensitive information. We will mention your project on our website and other platforms only with your permission.

What technologies do you use for PCB design and layout?

We use Altium Designer, Eagle Cad, Cadence Allegro, OrCad, and KiCad. All these programs have enhanced features for building both simple and the most complex boards. We have a large, trusted library of components for each of these CADs. If you give preference to a certain program or tool, you are welcome to choose and advise. We are flexible and ready to discuss every detail before development starts.

Can you build a device prototype?

Absolutely. To do that, we will design a PCB and order electronic components. Our partners will manufacture the prototype and send it to us so that we can test it and amend it if necessary.

How many layers can I get on a PCB board?

You can get anywhere from one to 12 layers on your board. Such PCBs can accommodate more components than a standard double-sided board. They are lightweight, small-sized, and more powerful.

Do you validate PCB layouts before production?

Validation is an integral part of PCB design and layout. To validate our work, we use a Design Rule Check (DRC), an area of electronic design automation. We also do schematic and circuit board modeling using specialized software. But most importantly, we use our knowledge of methods and approaches to electric circuit design that we've accumulated over years of work.

Can you estimate the cost of the final device before it's built?

We’d be glad to do that! If you have a specification or a list of requirements for your device, then we can pre-select the components you need and prepare a preliminary bill of materials (BOM). We can also make arrangements with manufacturers and vendors of customized components for your device. Based on the BOM and mechanical requirements, we can evaluate the complexity and dimensions of the printed circuit board for your device. On the basis of these data, we can estimate how much it will cost to produce the required number of devices. If you don’t have a specification yet, we will be happy to prepare it for you.

Can you guarantee the quality of the product?

We pay great attention to the quality of our work. The customer receives a fully functional device or software and a detailed user manual. After finishing the project, we provide a free warranty period, during which the team will eliminate any discovered defects and bugs. During the post-warranty period, we can also provide advice on possible modernization and modification of your product.

Can you help me with certification?

If the project requires certification, we take this into account at the earliest stages of product development. We prepare documentation for mandatory and voluntary certification in Europe, the USA (FCC, CE, UL, RoHS, and REACH), and other countries.

What is the minimum completion time?

The timing of a project largely depends on its specifics, complexity, scale, choice of components, and logistics. For example, a project audit can take 1-2 months, while AI-based software development usually lasts much longer. We always set realistic deadlines when preparing the spec and stick to the schedule at all project stages.

Can you help me with enclosure design?

Integra Sources has long-lasting and successful relationships with trusted enclosure designers. We will provide consultation and help you place an order. If necessary, we can make minor modifications on-site. During the development process, we keep in touch with the industrial design studio to ensure that the enclosure and the board match each other.

Who are your customers?

We develop projects for private enterprises and public organizations: small, medium, and large businesses, mining and manufacturing enterprises, startups, healthcare organizations, and enterprises engaged in other industries.
