Design for Test

Regal Offers Testability Analysis Reports

DFT Reports Include:

• Percentage of the Test Coverage
• List of Inaccessible Nodes
• Reason for No Test Access

Benefits of the DFT Include:

• Minimize the Frequency of a PCB Re-spin
• Minimize Design Induced Manufacturing Issues
• Provides an Effective Communication Platform
• Identifies Key Inspection Points

Design for Manufacturing

Regal Offers Valuable Feedback When Provided with the Following Information Using Mentor Graphics Valor NPI System:

• ASCII Output of the CAD Data
• Fabrication Drawing-DXF, Gerber or PDF
• Assembly Drawing-DXF, Gerber, or PDF
• Parts List-XLS, Schematic-PDF

Benefits of the DFM Include:

• Reduce Cost of Assembly Through Identification of Non-standard Processes
• Provide Engineering With Proposals to Make the Product
• Manufacturing More Repeatable
• Minimize the Need for Excessive Tooling

Design for Cost

Regal Offers Valuable DTUPC Feedback throughout the design lifecycle, validating at each milestone

Regal Offers Valuable DTUPC Feedback throughout the design lifecycle:

Entire design priced and evaluated against DTUPC (Design To Unit Production Cost) at each major milestone and/or review i.e.PDR, CDR, FDR

Each update to BOM is repriced and rolled into costed BOM and evaluated against DTUPC

Mechanical design cost updated with each major design release

Assembly labor estimated and updated at each major milestone and/or review i.e. PDR, CDR, FDR to validate labor cost do not increase as a result of changes to design complexity

Test labor estimated and updated at release of test plan, ATP, and at each major milestone and/or design
