I want to generate my own designs and have a PCB layout. What is the best course of action?
The best thing to do is is to generate the schematic using a compatible schematic capture program, such as OrCad Capture and provide the design file to us. We can compile the PCB and generate the layout and supply the required Gerber files for PCB production. We can also produce the boards for you. Once the layout is complete and approved, we can supply pricing for the unpopulated boards, or on a complete assembly. ATL maintains up-to-date board layout software under maintenance contracts. The next best thing is to supply a hand-generated schematic that is clear enough for us to generate the electronic design file. The latter course of action requires a little more work on our part, but generally is not a show-stopper.
