Iomico offers schematic design and PCB layout services. Iomico's PCB design team consists of top experts with an average of 15 years of experience in electronics design. We offer advanced PCB design services and comprehensive support from initial concept to final PCB design, manufacturing, and certification.

Electronics Design Services

We design electronics based on:

SoMs, SBCs, SoCs
MCU, CPU, GPU, DSP, FPGA
3G / 4G /5G, Satellite, Bluetooth (BLE up to 5.x), Wi-Fi, Thread, Lora / LoraWAN / 6LoWPAN, ZigBee, RFID, NFC.
PCIe Gen2/3/4, SATA R.3.x, LVDS, SDI, 10/100/1000 Ethernet, USB up to 3.2, HDMI, MIPI-CSI, MIPI-DSI, etc.
GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou
Motor / Stepmotors / PMSM/ BLDC control

PCB Design and Layout Services

Our team excels in:

Multi-Layer PCB Design: Design 12+ layer high-density circuits with multiple conductive signal layers and power planes.
High-Speed PCB Design: Complex high-speed interfaces development (multi-GHz SerDes lines, LVDS, DDR 2/3/4 memory, USB, PCIe, SATA, etc.).
High-Density Interconnect PCBs (HDI): PCBs with finer lines and spaces must employ either blind and buried or uVIA and via-in-pad technologies for fine-pitch ICs.
Flex and Rigid-Flex PCB Design: Design complex PCBs with flexible sections as interconnectors for rigid parts.
Radio-Frequency (RF) PCB Design: Designing layouts for devices with wireless data exchange functionality (Wi-Fi, BLE, GSM, GPS, etc.).
Stack-up/Build-up Development: Creating internal PCB structures with dedicated materials.
Transmission Line Configuration: Calculating 3D structures, conductivity, and impedance profiles.
Design for Manufacturing (DFM): Optimizing PCB layout to eliminate potential manufacturing issues.
Design for Assembly (DFA): Using IPC-compliant PCB libraries to avoid assembly issues like tombstoning.

PCB Design Simulations

Iomico provides electronics hardware simulation and analysis to avoid costly hardware design re-spins, enable faster product roll-out, and increase PCB and hardware reliability. We conduct:

Signal Integrity Analysis (SI)
Power Integrity (PI) Analysis
Thermal Simulation
3D modeling

Hardware Design Review Services

To the companies that have their internal PCB design teams or work with other 3rd parties, we can help review your design to verify the work done following the best practices. We provide the following review assistance:

Schematic Review Service

review schematics and component datasheets in detail to ensure that all the
interconnections are done logically.
electrical checks, signal flow checks, and signal compatibility between various blocks to ensure
your schematic is electrically correct and functional as per your requirements.
review component selection to suggest better alternatives, if any

PCB Design Review Service

stack-up/Build-up checks
transmission Line Configuration checks
power routing checks
sensitive signal routing checks
EMI/EMC & Safety standards readiness checks
Design for Manufacturing (DFM) checks
Design for Assembly (DFA) checks

Design and Development Process

Our standard device design procedure consists of the following steps:

Block Diagram
Design Specification
Building a components library
Schematic Design and Review
Components placement
Layer stack calculation
Pre-Layout Analysis (SI)
PCB Routing and Layout Review
Post-Layout Analysis (SI, PI, Thermal)
Design documentation development

Testing and certifications FCC, CE, ISO, RoHS, UL

Iomico services include thorough testing, debugging, and pre-certification steps. Our experts carefully review the certification requirements applied to the product and stick to them at all development stages. We support and provide all the necessary documentation and testing firmware for further electronics certification and software audits.
