Reverse Engineering
Alcove offers reverse engineering of your printed circuit board. Reverse engineering combined with re-engineering can revitalise old circuits to create a better return on investment.
Alcove provides the following activities for PCB reverse engineering projects;
- Schematic diagrams including any on board, point to point, wiring diagrams
- Bill of materials including individual data sheets on each component
- Gerber files for the production of the PCB with a set of printable PDF files complete with all I.P
- A prototype PCB assembled with components for testing and evaluation if required
