I'm generating some gerber files for them using Orcad Layout, for a
board that is going to be used for testing various signal switching
ICs. I believe they have 9 or 10 different ones.
There will be a DC power jack mounted for 13V as well as a regulator to
generate a 5V supply.
Each IC to be tested will need capacitors; 2 per input and 2 per
output per chip; a total of 4 per chip, about 40 in all.
Each input/output will be connected to an RCA jack; 40 RCA jacks in
all.
and of course each chip needs to be grounded.
For EMI shielding, I think minimizing loop area, bypass capacitors and
employing wide tracks for power and ground should be sufficient.
As far as the jacks go. I will have to create new symbols and
footprints for the RCA jacks, the power jack and perhaps 5 or 6 of the
ICs so that it is layed out properly on the PCB.
I've agreed to an hourly charge of 20$/ hour.
How much time would you charge for a contract like this? I'm new to
Orcad layout, but I'm learning it quick. I won't charge my time for
research and learning how to use the program because I'm junior.
However, I do seek a price that is worth my while. I'm also hoping that
this opportunity will lead to full-time employment. Either way it
looks good on a resume.
Cheers,
Sam
