PCB Reverse Engineering

The PCB design and manufacturing process is an essential element of the electronics production lifecycle. PCB manufacturing employs many new areas of technology and this has enabled significant improvements to be made both in the reduction of sizes of components and tracks used, and in the reliability of the boards. Sometimes, we don’t design the PCB layout ourselves, we copy form the exited PCB.

PCB Reverse Engineering service is flexible, from small jobs such as to change the pads between DIP SMD or other packaging for those hard to find components, (e.g. if a AT89S8252 DIP packaging is on the original PCB, but only the AT89S8252 QPF packaging is available on the market, then re-arrange the layout, change DIP pad to QFP pad), add jumper tracks to big jobs such as to give the project a total facelift.

Another key part of the PCB Reverse Engineering service is to reverse the main controller of the PCB and, extract the program and trace back the functions to its individual logic. As the world first full dedicated reverse engineering company, we are privileged to have worked with clients around the world to help accumulated our wide knowledge base in this field.

PCB Reverse Engineering is to reverse engineer a PCB assembly and trace back all of its original functionality, then, base on the extensive understanding of the functions, we can increase performance, reduce lifecycle costs, and add or subtract capabilities as part of the reverse engineering process.

PCB Reverse in progress

PCB reverse engineering service includes:

1. Copy the schematics and BOM (Bill Of Material)
2. Change PCB layout
3. Decompile microcontroller program and edit source code logics
4. Update an existing PCB assembly with new capabilities
5. Re-engineer an old PCB design to current standards, using new components
