CAD and PCB Design

By Center for Functional Nanomaterials Brookhaven

The Instrumentation Department’s Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Design Group assists scientists and engineers in the design of complex multilayer PCBs, including those that serve as detector elements. Through these collaborations, we move preliminary designs to mature production-ready packages for manufacturing. Our PCBs are used in a range of technologies, from medical imagers and x-ray synchrotron beam position monitors to particle detector readouts and backend electronics. Our Capabilities - Progression of analog or digital designs from conception through fabrication of a finished product - Delivery of innovative and creative technical solutions customized for particular application needs - Establishment of tailored design standards and configurations based on challenging and unique scientific goals - Collaboration with fabrication facilities to develop the best designs for manufacturing - Design of advanced and low-noise signal processing systems - Verification of completed design elements on CAD and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software - Inspection and optimization of previously created designs for fabrication and assembly by PCB manufacturers
