Product Overview

PCB Reverse Engineering is a specialized service aimed at analyzing and reconstructing existing printed circuit boards (PCBs) to understand their design, functionality, and components. This process involves creating accurate schematics and layout files from a physical PCB, which can then be used for troubleshooting, redesign, or replication. Our PCB Reverse Engineering service is essential for situations where original design files are unavailable or lost, and it provides a cost-effective solution for maintaining and updating legacy systems.

Key Features:

Accurate Reconstruction: Precise replication of PCB schematics and layout.

Component Identification: Detailed analysis and identification of all components.

Documentation: Comprehensive documentation including schematics, bill of materials (BOM), and Gerber files.

Troubleshooting and Repair: Assists in diagnosing issues and repairing faulty boards.

Customization: Ability to modify and improve the original design based on current requirements.

Legacy Support: Essential for maintaining and updating older systems where original documentation is not available.
