PCB Reverse Engineering Service: Unlock, Analyze, and Improve Your Existing Designs 

Caltronics PCB reverse engineering service offers precise and reliable solutions for analyzing, reproducing, and improving existing circuit board designs. Whether you need to replicate an obsolete board, enhance functionality, or troubleshoot an unknown design, our PCB reverse engineering service provides the expertise to bring your ideas to life.  

What is PCB Reverse Engineering?  

PCB Reverse Engineering is the process of deconstructing a circuit board to extract its schematic, component placement, and design details. This service is invaluable for businesses looking to: 

  • Reproduce outdated or discontinued PCBs 

  • Improve or modify existing board designs 

  • Recover lost design files 

  • Verify or troubleshoot an existing circuit board design 

Our Comprehensive Reverse Engineering Process 

Our PCB Reverse Engineering Service follows a meticulous process to ensure accuracy and efficiency: 

1. Board Analysis & Component Identification 

We begin by inspecting the PCB using multi-angle X-ray and 3D optical inspection to map out component placement, trace layouts, and layer structures. 

2. Schematic Extraction 

Using CAD tools, we extract the original schematic from the PCB, ensuring component values, traces, and interconnections are accurately documented. 

3. Bill of Materials (BOM) Reconstruction 

We identify and catalog all components, sourcing equivalent or alternative parts if necessary, especially for obsolete or hard-to-find items. 

4. PCB Layout Recreation 

Our engineers recreate the PCB layout, ensuring it matches or improves upon the original board. 

5. Prototyping & Testing 

Before full-scale production, we fabricate a prototype for testing, ensuring functionality and compliance with your requirements and industry standards.
