Best Case Quoting Information

• Complete Schematics
• Mechanical board outline specification including:
1. All mechanical dimensions including critical top and bottom component locations.
2. All critical connector locations and their pin-one position and orientation.
3. All placement and routing keep-ins and keep-outs
• Bill-of-Materials including Manufacturer's part numbers for all new components and related drawings if not readily available on the web.
• Test Point requirements
• Library created requirements (require DGCD to create symbols or geometries)
• Board technology requirements
• One sided or two sided
• Blind/buried vias
• Special materials (Nelco/Rogers)
• Critical design rules
• Line width and spacing
• Identify high speed (>GHz)
• Length matching criteria
• Layer assignments for major busses.
• Stack-up drawing
• Schedule

DGCD can deliver a budgetary quotes based on less information. Any of the items in the list above are very helpful in assessing the scope of the work.

Minimum Quoting Information

• Block diagram outlining
1. Major technologies (processors, memories, I/O, etc…)
2. Complex chip packages and connectors (large, fine-pitch BGAs, Backplane connectors, DIMMs, etc…)
3. Power requirements including potential plane splits
4. Number of high speed signals; how many are length critical.
• Board dimensions including thickness and any known part placement information
• Partial Bill-of-Material for critical customer specified parts.
• Schedule
