Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design is the foundation of modern electronics, bringing together electronic components into a fully functional unit. At Ignys, we specialise in PCB design and development, helping our clients create reliable, cost-effective, and manufacturable boards across industries including automotive, consumer electronics, renewables, gaming, and industrial automation.

Our approach focuses on speed, accuracy, and efficiency — breaking the design into critical components to minimise iterations and deliver right-first-time results.

Cost-Effective PCB Layout and Development

Cost plays a central role in every PCB project. We apply Design for Manufacture (DFM) principles to reduce unnecessary complexity and streamline production. By using standard materials and minimising unique components, we keep PCB manufacturing costs low without compromising on quality.

Layer Stack Optimisation

The PCB layer stack defines signal integrity, EMC behaviour, and thermal performance. We carefully design layer configurations to balance electrical requirements and cost. While more layers can boost performance, we help you find the sweet spot between performance, manufacturability, and budget.

PCB Materials for Performance and Reliability

Material choice is critical for both high-speed and high-frequency designs. While FR-4 PCB materials are ideal for many applications, we also work with specialist laminates such as Rogers and Arlon to minimise signal loss and dispersion in advanced applications.

Signal Integrity and Track Geometries

Track width, thickness, and spacing all impact signal integrity. Our team optimises PCB track geometries to reduce resistance, avoid crosstalk, and ensure reliable high-speed performance — all while efficiently using board real estate.

Component Placement Strategy

Effective component placement is key to reducing track lengths, improving thermal management, and avoiding EMC issues. Our engineers apply placement strategies that enhance both functionality and manufacturability.

Vias and Routing

Tracks and vias form the interconnections that make your PCB work. We design with via type (through-hole, blind, buried) in mind, minimising impedance issues and ensuring smooth signal transitions across layers.

Thermal Management in PCB Design

Heat is the enemy of reliability. We implement proven thermal management techniques including thermal vias, copper pours, heat sinks, and smart component placement. Simulation tools help us predict hotspots and optimise cooling.

Testability and Programming Access

We design PCBs with test and programming access in mind, making it easier to validate, debug, and upgrade your product. From test points to in-circuit programming headers, our approach reduces lifecycle costs and supports long-term maintainability.

Clear and Practical Silkscreens

Silkscreens aid assembly and troubleshooting by providing component identifiers, orientation markers, and reference information. Our designs always include clear, accurate silkscreens to simplify production and future servicing.

Design Rule Checking (DRC)

Our automated Design Rule Checking (DRC) ensures your PCB layout complies with manufacturing capabilities and safety standards, helping to eliminate costly redesigns and delays.

EMC Compliance in PCB Design

Managing electromagnetic interference is critical for compliance. We apply EMC best practices in grounding, shielding, and signal routing to ensure your boards meet industry and regulatory standards — avoiding late-stage design failures.

Peer Review and Collaboration

Before release, every PCB undergoes a peer review process, adding extra assurance that your design is optimised, compliant, and reliable. Collaboration is central to our design philosophy.
