Electronics Reverse Engineering
Detailed analysis of an existing electronic device to restore or create new design documentation. From parameter measurement to production-ready files.
What is Reverse Engineering
Documentation Restoration and Device Analysis
Reverse engineering is the process of detailed analysis of an existing electronic device to restore or create new design documentation. This technology allows studying the circuit solutions of a finished module and transferring them to CAD systems.
DIAS Electronics specialists perform a full range of PCB reverse engineering work — from component parameter measurement and board topology research to creating production-ready files for further manufacturing or device modernization.
All work is carried out within applicable law and with full confidentiality — your data, technical documentation and analysis results are never shared with third parties.
If design documentation was lost, outdated or never existed — we will restore the full document package.
Detailed study of the component base and equipment operating principles to understand circuit solutions.
Ability to redesign a new device based on an existing one or improve functionality of the current one.
Replacing discontinued or unavailable components with modern alternatives without loss of functionality.
Reverse Engineering Stages
Component Listing
We identify the component base, measure characteristics and record component placement on the board. We identify all elements, including marked and unmarked ones.
Layer-by-Layer Board Study
We examine all PCB layers using specialized equipment and generate Gerber files that accurately reproduce each layer's topology.
Design Documentation Preparation
We create source files in CAD, component BOM and restore the device's circuit schematic based on collected data.
Documentation Package Development
We compile the full set of drawings and files needed for further manufacturing, modernization or device certification.
