BitSim's services include design and layout services including component selections as well as layout and manufacturing support for high speed multi GHz solutions. Whether the project is targeted for low-cost high-volume or fast-prototyping multilayer solutions BitSim's highly experienced engineers will assist and deliver through out the whole design process.
Specification
Using our specification service guarantees that your quality requirements will be met like CE, CSA, ISO 9001, ISO 9002, MIL-SPEC/STD, RoHS directive and UL standards among others. BitSim can provide a feasability study to decide your requirements according to your needs.
Design and Layout
Design and layout services include schematic drawing, component layout creation, PCB design guidelines, PCB design rules, layout and manufacturing techniques. With the best tools available BitSim will generate the netlist in the format suitable for the manufacturer and assist the PCB-manufacturer with guidelines. For example high speed signal routing, ground plane layout, board dimensions, multi-layer stack-up and placement of critical components. To follow the RoHS directive is it important to verify if/where actions have to be taken such as lead-free solder alloys and investigate if selected components fall under the directive or are compliant to RoHS.
Component selection
The importance of selecting the right components matching price-target and life-cycle of the product shall not be underestimated. Selecting between SMT components and thrugh-hole components, getting the right packages for ICs are vital for a successful design. Do not forget possible environmental and law requirements on the components!
Manufacturing
Choosing the right manufacturer for PCB fabrication is important. A supplier specialized in prototype quantities most often has a capability to deliver prototypes. Large production quantity suppliers have equipment, staff, materials etc. necessary for large production runs of PCBs. They usually also have test equipment and test procedures in place to ensure quality on all manufactured or assembled boards.
Testing
Designing with testing in mind from the very first beginning makes debugging easier and time to production shorter. Specifying correct test methods and procedures and providing quality/testing documentation are all part of services available from BitSim.
