PCB Design & Layout

ECI Vision designs and edits printed circuit boards for the most advanced applications, on up-to-date workstations that support fast manual editing and automatic routing where it fits. We work in Cadence Allegro and OrCAD, with simulation up front for controlled impedance, so your board is right before it ever reaches fabrication.

  • Cadence Allegro
  • OrCAD
  • Controlled impedance
  • RF / Wi-Fi
  • Up to 18 GHz

Overview

A board's performance is decided at layout. Trace geometry, impedance, layer stackup, and component placement determine whether a design meets spec or fails on EMC, timing, or signal integrity. ECI Vision handles the full PCB editing process in-house, never through subcontractors, so we can balance workloads and give you real-time availability. Our experienced editors work in Cadence Allegro with full command of the Constraint Manager, run simulation early to hold controlled-impedance requirements, and maintain a component library that updates from real assembly and soldering results. The outcome is a manufacturing-ready board that shortens your time to market and gives your engineers the confidence the layout will finish on schedule and to spec.

Scope

What goes into the layout.

Schematic capture & design

Electrical design and schematic capture in Cadence Allegro and OrCAD, ready for layout.

Multilayer PCB layout

Advanced workstations for fast manual editing, with automatic routing where the design allows.

Controlled impedance

Simulator software to calculate trace characteristics up front and meet controlled-impedance requirements.

Component library

A comprehensive library that updates from real PCB assembly and soldering results.

Constraint-driven editing

Full command of the Constraint Manager so the layout holds your electrical and mechanical rules.

Manufacturing-ready output

Fabrication, assembly, DXF, PDF, and final CAD files prepared for clean handoff to production.

The process

How the board comes together.

  1. 1

    Inputs & scope

    We receive the statement of work, electrical schematic, and mechanical files, and define the constraints before layout begins.

  2. 2

    Component library build

    We build the component library for the design, updated from real assembly and soldering results.

  3. 3

    Placement & approval

    We place the components and get your approval on placement before routing.

  4. 4

    Routing & automated checks

    We route the traces per the SOW, then run automated checks, ICT and back-annotation, before release.

  5. 5

    QC & production files

    A senior editor and certified QC reviewer sign off, then we prepare manufacturing, assembly, DXF, PDF, and final CAD files and accompany production.
