PCB PADS Design Service

As a "stand-alone PCB design solution," PADS combines "schematic definition with powerful layout and simulation tools." (Mentor)

PADS design software enables:

  • Quick-turnaround PCB design project management
  • Complete PCB development-from schematic entry to layout and routing
  • High-speed analysis and verification
  • Advanced integration and customization
  • A design-to-manufacturing bridge for fabrication, assembly, and board testing

OUR 'SIGNATURE' PADS PCB DESIGN SERVICE

As a PCB Design Service for over twenty years, CA Design has worked with a wide variety of design software, and PADs is one of our top tools of choice for PCB layout. Our senior-level design team knows the software inside and out because, they not only use PADS every day, they train engineers in the software. What other PCB Design Service Bureau do you know that offers real-world software training in addition to PCB layout, and fabrication, and assembly? We pride ourselves on being design and software experts, as well as a one-stop solution for design, fabrication, and assembly.

The CA Design 'Signature' Standard Includes:

  • Work Location Flexibility
    Our expert Silicon Valley PADS designers can work on-site from one week to six months, or directly from our home office.
  • Project Tailoring
    We'll work around your standards, schedule, style, and budget.
  • Quick Turnaround
    We can help you meet time-to-market objectives as your source for design, manufacture, and assembly.
  • Seasoned Designers
    Our design team has many years of expertise in Cadence and Mentor Graphics tools including Allegro and OrCad in addition to PADS.
  • First-Class Design
    Our senior-level design team consistently presents intricately hand-routed, premium-crafted designs.
  • Value for your PCB Design Dollars
    CA Design provides fair pricing for industry-best PCB designs in addition to the highest level of service-you'll always know your project status. If a design issue should arise, we will fix it at no charge to you-we stand behind our designs. You'll never get a surprise bill with us.
  • Peace of Mind Service
    CA Design offers US-based project execution-you don't have to worry about your design being outsourced overseas. Security and confidentially are our top priority-we'll set up an exclusive ftp site for your boards. We guarantee designs that will be maintainable for years to come.

CA Design knows that every PCB Layout project is unique; CA Design employs the best PCB Layout software to produce the best layouts for our customers. Our highly skilled engineers use Pads PCB Layout software to deliver efficient.

PADS® Layout provides everything you need to complete your toughest designs simply and quickly in a flexible design environment.

The connections on the PCB should be identical to the circuit diagram, but while the circuit diagram is arranged to be readable, the PCB layout is arranged to be functional, so there is rarely any visible correlation between the circuit and the layout.

PCB layout can be performed manually (using CAD) or in combination with an Autorouter. The best results are usually still achieved using atleast some manual routing - simply because the design engineer has a far better judgement of how to arrange circuitry.

Different methods of PCB construction:

Conventional
A rigid PCB (usually of thickness 1.6mm), with wire-leaded components mounted on only one side of the PCB, with all the leads through holes, soldered and clipped. Conventional circuitry is generally easier to debug and repair than Surface mount.
Surface Mount Technology (SMT) or devices (SMD)
d flush to PCB pads. Holes are still needed on the PCB, but not where the component leads are attached. Surface mount circuitry is generally smaller than conventional. Surface mount is generally more suited to automated assembly than conventional.
Surface mount & conventional mix
In practice, most boards are a mix of surface mount and conventional components. This can have its disadvantages as the two technologies require different methods of insertion and soldering.

Double sided Laminate
A bare PCB laminate having tracks on both sides, normally with PTH holes connecting circuitry on the two sides together.
Double sided Component Assembly
Mounting components on both sides of the PCB. Normally only surface mount circuitry would be mounted on both sides of a PCB.

Multi-layer
A PCB Laminate may be manufactured with more than two layers of copper tracks by using a sandwich construction. The cost of the laminate reflects the number of layers. The extra layers may be used to route more complicated circuitry, and/or distribute the power supply more effectively.

Gold plated
Certain areas on a PCB may be gold plated for use as contact pads. Unless the whole PCB is gold plated before etching, this technique is limited in its application, normally, to pads on the edge of a PCB, as an electrolytic plating bar must be attached to the pads, and then removed part way through the PCB manufacturing process.
