Replacement design for embedded systems - a new design solution fully addressing end-of-life IC measures and specification changes.
The customer faced a situation where the ICs and semiconductors in use became obsolete, making it urgent to consider alternatives. Additionally, due to changes in equipment specifications, the number of modifications needed on the circuit board increased. Furthermore, due to constraints of the equipment casing, it was not possible to change the existing board size, shape, or connector positions, necessitating a redesign that could accommodate all requirements while maintaining the conventional design.
Our company carefully selected alternative components with equivalent basic functions, pin configurations, and sizes, and conducted a redesign of the circuit board patterns as needed. We eliminated unnecessary circuits and minimized changes to component placement and wiring patterns, allowing us to conduct integration verification into the equipment while maintaining the existing specifications. This ensured reliable operation checks for both the circuit board alone and the entire equipment, facilitating a smooth transition to mass production and stable supply.
To the design team, procurement, and production management—please utilize our replacement design case studies as an optimal solution to enhance operational efficiency, product quality, and reliability in response to obsolete IC measures and specification changes. Feel free to contact us!
