Nuvation can provide PCB Layout as an a la carte, project-based service. As with most service bureaus, we require a schematic netlist as our inputs along with design constraints, board mechanicals, and component datasheets. One of Nuvation’s key differentiators is our ability to provide more than just schematic-to-gerber services. Upon request, Nuvation can provide engineering peer design reviews, signal integrity modeling, and even produce boards from your schematic.
- Areas of Expertise:
- High-speed serial 1GHz to 10GHz circuits
- High-speed parallel (PCI-X, SPI-4.2, DDR/QDR, low-xtalk connectors, DSP & FPGA arrays)
- High-density/high-pincount designs (‘first-time-right’ methodologies)
- Mixed-signal boards requiring noise/power isolation
- RoHS/WEEE compliant Lead (Pb)-Free designs
- DFM for high-yield, low-cost production
- DFT (ICT coverage, JTAG test vector development)
- DFx (DFM/DFT/HALT/HASS,etc)
