Adhering to a regimented Design Process has enabled the Cavitt Group to develop high quality and accurate printed circuit board designs.

The Design Process is described as follows:

• Customer Input 
  • Acquire customer's input in the form of schematics, parts list, net list, component specifications/data sheets and mechanical drawings.
  • Acquire placement and routing instructions from customer
  • Review general instructions and confirm understanding of technical materials with the customer.
  • Determine if customer has own company standards/rules for their designs.
  • Confirm deliverables with customer.

• Database Preparation.
  • Convert netlist and parts list into PADS-PowerPCB format.
  • Create custom parts/components
  • Create board outline, cutouts, keepout zones plus incorporate any special mechanical considerations.
  • Review netlist, board outline and mechanical data for adherence to customer requirements and standards.

• Parts Placement.
  • Place any customer specific parts
  • Place all other components
  • Generate placement drawing and netlist report
  • Review placement drawing and netlist internally and with the customer for accuracy and adherence to standards.

• Routing
  • Review schematic and plan routing strategies
  • Review customer's special routing instructions, if any
  • Route any critical paths, then route remaining connections.
  • Review trace widths and pad stackups for compliance to standards.
  • Review routed design internally and with the customer.

• Documentation
  • Review customer deliverables
  • Generate manufacturing files (GERBER data and drill files)
  • Generate printed wiring board fabrication and assembly drawings (pdf files), if required.
