Overview
High-speed PCB design is a core technical link for the development of modern high-performance electronic products, targeting the signal integrity, power integrity and electromagnetic compatibility challenges brought by high-frequency, high-bandwidth signal transmission. As electronic products continue to evolve towards higher computing power, lower latency and smaller form factors, high-speed signal links with transmission rates of 10Gbps, 25Gbps, even up to 112Gbps are widely used in communication, automotive, computing and industrial fields. These high-speed signals are prone to problems such as attenuation, crosstalk, impedance mismatch, signal reflection and electromagnetic interference during transmission, which will directly lead to increased signal error rate, reduced product performance, or even failure to operate normally. Systematic high-speed PCB design runs through the entire product development cycle, from schematic verification, stack architecture planning, component placement optimization, routing rule formulation, to post-layout simulation verification and DFM (Design for Manufacturing) review. It comprehensively balances product performance, material cost and manufacturing cycle requirements, providing reliable technical support for the stable operation and mass production of high-speed electronic products.

It achieves high-precision impedance control for 90Ω, 100Ω and other common differential and single-ended impedance specifications, with strict error control to reduce signal reflection and transmission distortion, ensuring consistent signal quality across all high-speed links.
- Full-Process Verification Support: Includes pre-layout signal integrity (SI) analysis, power integrity (PI) analysis, EMC pre-compliance testing, post-layout simulation verification, and multi-dimensional DFM review. The design process identifies potential signal risks, power supply ripple issues, electromagnetic compatibility hazards and manufacturing feasibility problems in advance, avoiding repeated design revision cycles and reducing post-production adjustment costs.
- Diversified Design Service Coverage: Offers full design services from schematic optimization, PCB layout, design revision, to design diagnosis and technical training, supporting both new product development and existing product performance upgrade needs, adapting to project demands of different scales from prototype verification to mass production.
Quality Standards
All high-speed PCB design outputs strictly comply with global general industry specifications, including IPC-2221, IPC-2222, IPC-2223 and other standard requirements for rigid, flexible and rigid-flex PCBs, and meet RoHS, REACH and other environmental compliance regulations for different regional markets. Each design stage is equipped with independent review gates, including schematic correctness review, stack architecture feasibility review, component placement rationality review, high-speed routing rule compliance review, simulation verification result review, and DFM manufacturing compatibility review, each with clear pass criteria to ensure design outputs fully meet both performance and manufacturing requirements. All high-speed designs are validated to match mass production process capabilities, ensuring manufacturing yield of over 98% for qualified designs, reducing production scrap and rework costs.
