Frequently asked questions
Common questions about PCB design services
The information required, project scope and final deliverables can vary depending on whether the work involves a new design, an existing-product revision or targeted PCB layout support.
What files are needed for a PCB design quote?
Submit the available schematic, PCB database, mechanical information, component data, design requirements, expected deliverables and target schedule. Preliminary information can also be reviewed when the complete project package is not yet available. For a complete overview of project preparation, review our guide to the PCB design process .
Can 911EDA revise an existing PCB design?
Yes. Existing PCB designs can be updated for engineering changes, obsolete components, cost-reduction requirements, layout corrections, product revisions or new manufacturing needs. Work can range from a targeted ECO to a broader schematic, library and PCB layout revision.
Which PCB design platforms does 911EDA support?
911EDA supports Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, Cadence OrCAD and Siemens PADS for new designs, revisions, library work and platform conversions. Review our dedicated Altium PCB design services, Cadence Allegro PCB design services, Cadence OrCAD PCB design services, Siemens PADS PCB design services or visit the Design Tools page for information about all supported platforms.
Are native source files included with the project?
Yes. Applicable native schematic, PCB and library files are returned with the completed project, together with the agreed fabrication, assembly and documentation outputs.
Can 911EDA provide overflow PCB layout support?
Yes. 911EDA can provide additional PCB design capacity when an internal engineering team is overloaded, facing a schedule constraint or requires specialized layout experience. For complete projects, temporary capacity or overflow assignments, review our PCB design outsourcing services.
How are PCB design projects priced?
Well-defined scopes can be quoted at a fixed price. Projects with changing requirements, developing specifications or an uncertain scope can be supported hourly.
Can 911EDA support ITAR-controlled programs?
All design work is performed in the United States by U.S. citizens. Do not send export-controlled technical data through the public quote form. Contact 911EDA first to arrange an approved project-transfer method.
Anonymized project example
16-layer aerospace mission-interface PCB completed in four weeks
911EDA developed a high-density mixed-signal PCB for an aerospace and defense mission-interface electronics system using an approved customer schematic and fixed mechanical requirements.
Board
16-layer rigid PCB
Platform
Altium Designer
Schedule
Four weeks
Application
Aerospace mission-interface electronics
Design challenge
The design had to fit within a fixed mechanical envelope while integrating high-speed serial interfaces, DDR memory, controlled-impedance differential pairs, precision analog sensor inputs, isolated communications, multiple switching power supplies, fine-pitch BGAs and high-density connectors.
Severe routing congestion near two connectors, limited routing channels and strict component-height, mounting and keepout requirements added to the challenge. The project also required clean return-current paths between sensitive analog, high-speed digital and switching-power circuitry.
Work completed by 911EDA
911EDA reviewed and corrected the customer’s existing Altium libraries, created and validated required symbols and footprints, developed the 16-layer stackup with the PCB fabricator and completed placement and routing from scratch.
The design included BGA breakout, selective microvia use, controlled-impedance routing, length matching, analog and digital partitioning, power-distribution planning, isolation requirements and EMC-related layout features.
Outcome
The design was completed and released within the four-week schedule for the planned prototype build and system-integration test. The final package met the mechanical, impedance, signal-matching, power-distribution and manufacturing requirements.
911EDA delivered the fabrication and assembly files, drawings, updated libraries and complete native Altium source files. Prototype fabrication proceeded without a major layout-related respin, and initial assembly and system testing confirmed correct operation and stable communications.
