ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING
A few years ago, Synergie Cad achieved a significant milestone when it developed and commercialized a full line of Burn-In systems.

Combined with user-friendly and highly programmable Burn-In drivers, our modular Burn-In systems integrate most functions traditionally found in the most expensive ATE equipment at a fraction of the cost.
Design Engineering Layout & Simulation
PCB designers are in the challenging position of having to find the best solution which meets all of the requirements of the Test Platform, Test Engineers, Manufacturers and Assemblers.
Our design engineers have a broad background and experience in RF Microwave, Electronics, Chemistry, Mechanical engineering and PCB Layout, uBGA, RF, High Speed Digital, Analog, Mixed Signal design Complex board builds, blind, buried, micro vias, multiple laminations and combined materials.
Impedance controlled: Differential, Single ended, Stripline and Surface Microstrip, Embedded Microstrip. Mechanical: Sockets, Shielding, Systems, Custom Stiffeners, Cables.

ANSYS HFSS software is the industry-standard simulation tool for 3-D full-wave electromagnetic field simulation and is essential for the design of high-frequency and high-speed circuit design. It provides accuracy for the design of high-speed circuits, test sockets, PCB interconnects, high-frequency components and RF/microwave components and evaluates signal quality, including transmission path losses, reflection losses due to impedance mismatches, parasitic coupling and radiation. Visualizing 3-D electromagnetic fields is important. ANSYS SIWave is used to analyse complete designs (includes multiple, arbitrarily shaped power/ground layers, vias, signaltraces and circuit elements). We perform complete signal-integrity and power-integrity analysis from DC to beyond 10 GHz.
Engineering and Test Solutions
Synergie Cad Group offers test software development services in addition to the test hardware design and manufacturing. Supported by a dedicated internal team of Engineers we provide Test program solutions for the leading Automated Test Equipment.

Utilising both internal test platforms and 3rd party ATE we support both Final Assembly and Wafer Probe test program development, characterisation, qualification read-point testing as well as platform and pattern conversion.

Cooperation internally between Design, Test and Manufacturing allows us to have complete control over design validation and Test Production improvements.

We support new product introductions, production yield improvements, offshore transfer and legacy testing through our offices and service centers based in Europe, USA and Asia.

Conception and Drawing
Synergie Cad offers design experience that is tailored - but not limited to - semiconductor interfaces where many designs are made for original OEM's.

From schematic capture to final layout, our design engineers work closely with customers to ensure that all objectives of each project are met.

With more than 70 design stations using CADSTAR, MENTOR, CADENCE and PADS utilised by Synergie Cad and with our project/design engineers located in France, Germany, Morocco, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, UK, and USA, we offer on site design services and true around-the-clock work on time critical projects.

As technological advances continue in the electronics industry, the need for change in the architecture of PCB’s is always on the horizon. The PCB has to evolve and take into account the continually changing functionality of integrated devices as well as the latest packaging trends.

Packaging & IC assembly
Our European Packaging line, located in Toulouse, allows us to deliver fast-run prototypes or small series in following packages :

Plastic moulded : QFN’s, SOIC, QFP’s, DIP’s
Air cavity / Premoulded plastic : QFN’s, SOIC’s, QFP’s, DIP’s …
Ceramics (ceramic or metal lid) …
Metal packages : TO’s …
Organic packages: BGA, LGA

An investment plan is on-going to drive this line towards mid-series for plastic package. This should be effective by Q2 2019.
