1 Quadra Solutions Your Partner for PCB Design Success

2 PCB DESIGN SERVICES Consider us an extension to your PCB design team Quadra houses one of the largest PCB design bureaus in the UK, but we don t just provide the services outlined in this brochure. Our customers will tell you that there is much more to us than that. We tick all the right boxes skills, experience, quality, reliability, cost effectiveness and flexibility, but what makes us different is our approach to each project we undertake and the way we work in partnership with our customers to ensure complete design success.

3 We have discovered that Quadra offer much more than just a bureau service they offer a true business partner relationship, something which is not easy to find Valda Stuckey Racal Acoustics Ltd Stay in control We know that outsourcing your design work is a big deal. How do you know that the end result will be as you envisaged? Don t worry the way we work means that you re always in control of your design. Our process allows for your input every step of the way, and this can be from the comfort of your own desk with our web exchange programme. This allows you to view your live design on screen so that you can have the discussions needed to move the design forward. Talk to us! We don t bite! The best way for you to find out if we re the right bureau for you is to talk to us and involve us in your next project. No matter what size or stage of design, we d be happy to discuss how we can support you. Call us now on +44 (0) or design@quadrasol.co.uk and we ll call you. What do our customers have to say? Like the sound of us, but still not sure? We d be happy to provide you with various customer references so that you can be sure we can walk the walk. You can see some comments dotted around this brochure, or visit Quality stamped As you d expect with a quality and experienced bureau we have all the right stamps including ISO 9001 and IPC certification so you can be assured we re committed in all the right areas. All of our staff hold SC level security clearance too! Quadra Solutions Your Partner for PCB Design Success

4 We wanted an interactive working environment with a design services company and we also expected them to cope with the iterative nature of our designs. Quadra were the company that met our needs in this regard John Matthews Virtual Access Ltd Data Preparation We all know what a pain data preparation can be but making sure you have the necessary information available to create new library parts for a design is a vital part of the design process. Let us do the hard work for you we ll collate your data sheets for each device where library parts don t exist and verify them to ensure there are sufficient legible dimensions for the new part to be created. We do this for all of our customers and have a strict process in place - we ll work closely with you to get your exact requirements to ensure that the finished design is complete and accurate. Library Creation Another tedious task you can leave in our capable hands! By default we would work to the IPC 7351 specification for PCB footprints, however if you have your own CAD system we re happy to adopt your library standards. Does your library need a good tidy? It s easy to let library management slip when busy working on designs and there s never a good time to have a sort out. Let us do a spring clean on your behalf and we ll bring your library back under control and introduce a structure and procedure that means you won t have to do it again.

5 Circuit Diagrams At Quadra we re happy to accept any form of input. Some of our customers provide completed CAD generated schematics, but we can work with a hand drawn sketch if required. We know how important it is to get this stage of the design right as the circuit diagrams convey the design intent through to the PCB layout system. We ll work with you here to ensure 100% accuracy. PCB Layout There s a lot that goes into this stage of a PCB design and with years of experience in this under our belts we ve developed a highly successful approach and find that consultation is key. Here we dedicate a lot of time working with you on all aspects of the circuit, system design, mechanical and environmental requirements, bare board manufacturing requirements plus assembly and test requirements we ll cover it all to ensure that the design intent is delivered correctly. To ease the process, we can provide online meetings to share your live design for review purposes this technique is hugely popular with many of our customers and our engineers are happy to do this on a regular basis so that you can be sure everything is going in the right direction.

6 ECAD to MCAD We re used to accepting 3D mechanical data in various formats such as STEP, IDF etc, and we have access to numerous tools from leading CAD providers. This means we can take your design one step further by verifying component placement in the 3D environment. Post Layout Services Once your design is completed, we ll provide the deliverables agreed at the beginning of the process. We let you decide these and we are happy to work to your formats to ensure that the design can be seamlessly incorporated back into your own systems. You may require complete PCB files, including a manufacturing pack, assembly drawings and a BOM all of which is easily done. PCB Procurement, Component Sourcing & PCB Assembly At Quadra, we can provide a complete service, whether you require just the bare PCB s or assembled and tested units. We know the two main factors here are speed and cost, and we work with carefully selected manufacturing partners who offer preferential service to ensure we exceed your expectations on these points. We are able to kit for the build whilst your design progresses to provide you with prototype PCB assemblies fast. As a complete service, you will only receive one quote for the full project, meaning less hassle for sign off internally!

7 The reverse engineering of our complex PCB s from the old and obsolete original populated boards, with the further complications of component redundancy was a triumph. Both of the new PCB s supplied worked perfectly first time - Kostas V. Kassioumis Darlas Electronic Applications SA Reverse Engineering Another one of our specialities! We ve worked on many successful reverse engineering projects and have the skill to do this from almost any source data. In the past we ve reversed engineered designs from gerber, obsolete CAD systems, bare PCB s, PCB assemblies and even wiring lists. Impressed? There s more we also have the capability to convert any legacy designs that need modifications with no access to the original design data. Design Integrity Is your design high speed? Relax we can do that too! We re more than capable and vastly experienced so let us take care of your signal and power integrity requirements. We re able to define your board stack up and impedance profile, implement constraints and topologies to govern your signal behaviour and verify that the completed design achieves all of the stated requirements. We can then provide you with the PCB and schematic files for future use. Quadra Solutions Your Partner for PCB Design Success
