PCB Design

PCB design is a task that requires the integration of a range of technical disciplines. Fundamental electronics knowledge and a clear understanding of EMC and signal integrity issues, coupled with a technical appreciation of mechanics, fabrication and assembly technology is required to ensure that the end product is functionally correct and manufacturable within commercial cost constraints.

The PCB design team at Norcott has the experience and breadth of knowledge to achieve an optimum solution. In addition they are constantly enhancing their knowledge to keep abreast of new developments in components, packaging and manufacturing systems.

• Layers - single sided, double sided through to high layer count multilayer fabrication (>22 layer).
  
• Track and gap - typically 0.15mm (6 thou) down to 0.1mm (4 thou).
  
• Laminates - Rigid, flexi and composite flexi rigid.
  
• Vias - standard, blind, buried and laser drilled micro-vias.
  
• Special Requirements - controlled impedance, differential matched routing.
  
• Package technology - QFP, TSSOP, CSP, BGA (to 1156 ball) and uBGA, QFN/LLC.
  

Library Management

Careful and well structured library and parts management is vital if the integrity of the design database is to be maintained. We can offer a full custom PCB (and schematic) library creation and maintenance service or access to Norcott's own extensive libraries.
