PCB Reverse Engineering & Design Recovery Services
Extend the lifecycle of your critical hardware with our Professional Electronic Reverse Engineering Services. We specialize in recreating complete design data packages for legacy systems where original documentation is lost or incomplete.
Our comprehensive service covers PCB cloning, schematic recovery, and BOM generation. By analyzing your physical sample, we identify obsolete components and suggest modern replacements, ensuring your product is not only reproduced but optimized for future manufacturing.

PCB Reverse Engineering
Ctrlcpcb supports engineering and procurement teams worldwide with PCB reverse engineering, schematic reconstruction, PCB layout recreation and BOM recovery. We review your sample and available documentation to agree the design files, component information and validation work required for your project.
Send photographs of both sides, board dimensions, sample condition, existing files, required outputs and quantities. The project can continue through prototyping, PCB manufacturing, component sourcing, SMT/THT assembly, functional testing, box build and global shipping. Specify the functions to reproduce, acceptance tests and delivery destination before the scope is confirmed.
PCB Copy and Design Recovery Requirements | Discuss Your Reverse Engineering Project
Our anonymised research equipment PCB recovery example describes recovery from a supplied board, including recovered drawings, prototype testing and revisions before the equipment returned to operation. For your project, review the PCB reverse engineering deliverables guide to discuss file outputs, revision control and validation requirements before the scope is agreed.

IC Unlock Services
Regain control of your hardware with our premier IC Unlock and MCU Decryption services. If you have lost your source code or need to recover firmware from a locked microcontroller, our lab provides a safe and reliable solution.
We utilize non-invasive and semi-invasive techniques to bypass security bits without damaging the silicon logic. Our service supports a wide range of chip families (including STM32, PIC, AVR, C51) and delivers the extracted code in standard HEX or BIN format, ready for reprogramming or analysis.

FAQ
What is Reverse Engineering in Electronics
Why Reverse Engineering?
The motivations for PCB reverse engineering are not necessarily nefarious. Companies that own products or complete designs through commercial acquisitions often require this service. Documentation may be poor or missing, but since the board is a fusion of all design documents, close inspection can peel back the layers (sometimes figuratively) to recreate the design and potentially prepare it for new revisions. The practice is rarely a one-shot, but rather reflects the prototyping process, which perhaps unsurprisingly is the opposite.
Reverse engineering is used for various purposes. In competitive analysis, companies reverse engineer products to understand competitors’ technology. In cybersecurity, it’s used to find vulnerabilities in hardware or software. In repair and maintenance, understanding a product’s design helps in troubleshooting.
