 Design Quote Checklist
To obtain a PCB layout quote, ProtoCAD requires:
ProtoCAD offers an up front, one time fixed price quote for all design layouts. Delivery to the customer will include everything needed to fabricate, assemble and test a very high quality PC board design.

Schematic
All parts are shown on schematic, including decoupling caps.
Parts are labeled with reference designators corresponding to BOM.
All electrical connections are shown on and all IC pins are numbered.
Indicate traces carrying high currents and assign current requirement.
Critical Routing Requirements, Clock Routing, Matched Lengths, Differential Pairs, Guard Traces, Split Planes, Etc…
Polarized caps marked with + sign.
Copy of the schematic, soft copy in PDF format or the database.

Bill of Materials (BOM)
