Deliverable Format:
Please note that the following file formats are requested for design reviews:
Schematic Review – PDF
Layout Review – Gerbers (including paste mask and solder mask layers)
Note: An update of an existing design which has already been reviewed should be submitted to the same portal case as the original design
in order for proper traceability and comparison between designs.
