Altium ECAD PCB Design Review for HV Clearance Upgrade - HV Driver Board
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
We need an Altium expert to review the high voltage clearances on the "HV Driver Board" in preparation for an upgrade. There are multiple high voltage net classes with fairly complex rules, so we need to check that the design rules and associated clearances are already working correctly and meet IPC2221 for ~250V. After this review, there will be follow up work to upgrade the rules and layout as appropriate for ~400V.
Key Requirements:
- Expert in Altium with Access to Altium v23
- Experience using Altium net classes for electrical clearance rules/verification.
- Expert in reviewing/verifying/upgrading PCB designs
Ideal Skills and Experience:
- Experience meeting IPC2221 specifications.
- Experienced in layout of isolated gate drivers >400V with high speed SIC FETs.
- Familiarity with maintaining mechanical clearances based on DXF mechanical layers.
- Ability to contribute to EE design reviews of existing schematics/layouts.
Tasks
1) Review the project and associated high voltage clearance rules.
2) Review PCB layout for any issues, particularly including problems in HV clearance rules
3) Find the worst-case HV clearances in design for max 250V vs. IPC2221 recommendations.
4) Create and deliver a report document regarding the above, detailing the worst-case HV clearance locations, with comments regarding the feasibility of and recommendations for upgrading to ~400V clearance rules.
