Customer Need

A new start-up company faced with a critical time-to-market schedule to introduce a new product at an industry trade show required on call services to meet schedules.

AVID's Solution

AVID provided complete library development to IPC-7351A standards and PCB layout and simulation services for signal integrity verification of DDR2 memory. Within the layout, AVID utilized high-speed processor/dual DSPs, each with DDR2 memory, and applied extensive attention to thermal management. The radio layout proved extremely challenging due to the small form factor. The unit was completed and demonstrated successfully, leading to a promising new product introduction.

Value Added or Technologies Applied

• Impedance Controlled
• Pre-Layout Simulation
• Length Matched Constrained Routing
• Thermal Planning
