First-Pass Success Methodology
Hardware design is an art form constrained by physics. At Akhila Labs, we specialize in the design ofcomplex, small-form-factor electronics. We handle the entire lifecycle from
system architecture andcomponent selection to high-speed PCB layout and EMI/EMC compliance.

Overview
First-Pass Success Methodology
Signal Integrity (SI) & Power Integrity (PI) Focus:
We don’t guess; we simulate. We analyzehigh-speed interfaces for eye-diagram openness and power delivery networks (PDN) for voltagedrop, ensuring the board works reliably under load.

FPGA & Heterogeneous Computing:
We possess niche skills in designing systems with FPGAs(Intel/Altera, Xilinx). We handle the RTL design (Verilog/VHDL) and the complex PCB layout requiredfor high-pin-count BGA packages, enabling hardware acceleration for edge applications.

Design for Manufacturing (DFM):
We design with the factory in mind. We optimize componentplacement for assembly, manage the Bill of Materials (BOM) for component lifecycle (avoiding EOLparts), and ensure test points are accessible for mass production testing

Overview
Technical Capabilities Deep Dive
- High-Density Interconnect (HDI): Design of multi-layer boards (12+ layers) with blind/buried viasfor compact mobile and IoT devices.
- High-Speed Routing: Length matching, impedance control, and differential pair routing forinterfaces like DDR3/4, USB 3.0/C, HDMI, and Gigabit Ethernet.
- RF & Wireless: Layout for RF modules (BLE, Wi-Fi, LoRa, GPS) with careful attention to antennamatching circuits and ground plane shielding to maximize range and pass FCC certification. 10
- RTL Design: Coding complex logic in Verilog/VHDL for custom protocols, video processing pipelines,or high-speed data acquisition.
- IP Integration: Integrating third-party IP cores (e.g., memory controllers, PCIe endpoints) andcreating custom AXI/Avalon peripherals.
- Verification: Using simulation testbenches (ModelSim) to verify logic correctness before synthesis.
- Prototyping: Rapid turnaround of prototype boards for engineering validation (EVT).
- Certification Support: Guiding the hardware through pre-compliance testing for EMI/EMC (FCC,CE), Safety (UL/IEC), and Environmental (RoHS/REACH). We troubleshoot emission issues at thelayout level. 10

Frequently Asked Questions
At Akhila Labs, embedded engineering is the foundation of everything we build. We go beyond writing firmware that runs on hardware—we engineer systems that extract
maximum performance, reliability, and efficiency from the silicon itself.
How do you prevent "Board Re-spins"?
We believe in simulation over trial-and-error. By simulatingcritical signals and power delivery before fabrication, we catch errors that would otherwise causethe board to fail, ensuring a high rate of first-pass success. 3
Can you help with component shortages?
Yes. Our engineering team performs "BOM HealthChecks" early in the design process to identify parts that are at risk of obsolescence or have longlead times, suggesting pin-compatible alternatives to de-risk the supply chain.
