FOR QUOTING A BOARD LAYOUT: Your request may be accompanied by a non-disclosure agreement, or a confidential information transmittal record, if necessary. Include as much of the following data as possible. Remember that the quotation is only as accurate or complete as the input data provided

---

MECHANICAL DESCRIPTION OF BOARD: usually a drawing(PDF) or sketch, showing size, restricted areas, required features, and any compulsory component locations. (IDF and/or DXF file preferred)
BILL OF MATERIALS: This includes industry standard package size identification for all parts.
ELECTRICAL DESIGN REQUIREMENTS: General function, circuit speed and type of layout rules anticipated. Ask us about our spreadsheet which can help you with the final layout rules.
PRODUCT REQUIREMENTS: Identify the method of testing finished product, any applicable regulatory of manufacturing specification, and any unusual environmental considerations.
DELIVERABLE ITEMS: List all special outputs needed from the layout process other than those standard to drive fabrication and assembly.
SCHEDULE REQUIREMENTS: Anticipated start date, duration, and completion date required.
NETLIST: We will need a net list, unpackaged CAD schematic or packaged CAD schematic. (Cadence net list or associated board file preferred - If not, a searchable PDF of schematic is needed).

TO START BOARD LAYOUT, Include all the items above and add the following:

---

PART SPECIFICATIONS: A data sheet for every part type showing package dimension, pin assignments and any additional layout considerations.
SCHEMATIC: This should be complete and legible with all reference designators assigned. (searchable PDF preferred)
LAYOUT INSTRUCTIONS: Complete details of all layout requirements and concerns. Critical signals should be identified explicitly including all high speed, clock, high current or high voltage lines.
NETLIST or DRIVING SCHEMATIC: Should be in Cadence Allegro format (Concept or Capture)
