Custom Solutions
A few examples of often requested PCB solutions:
-
Rules Driven Designs
Many of todays designs require matching length for groups of signals, controlled impedance, spacing for high-voltages or sensitive nets, and more. By setting up design rules in the layout tool, the finished layout is automatically checked for correctness.
-
Power Supplies
Trade-offs are critical. Copper thickness vs. copper spacign, thermal relief vs. current flow, Marginally implemented eval boards, challenging datasheet recommendations.
