In-Circuit Design Pty Ltd (iCD)

Welcome to iCD – Intuitive Software for High-Speed PCB Design
In-Circuit Design Pty Ltd (iCD) was incorporated in 1995 to distribute, educate and support customers of VeriBest Inc and Mentor Graphics Corporation Electronic Design Automation (EDA) software, in Australia and New Zealand. The company developed the iCD Design Integrity software that incorporates the Stackup, PDN and CPW Planner. iCD is also a PCB Design Service Bureau and specializes in board level simulation.

In 1994, Barry Olney of In-Circuit Design was contracted by Melbourne based computer manufacturer and distributor, Graphics Computer Systems, to design, in conjunction with Ross Bennett of GCS, the multilayer PCB for a SPARC20 server motherboard that would achieve their commercialization objectives. The design received an Institute of Engineers Australia ‘Engineering Excellence Award’, and was subsequently licensed to a US company, jointly owned by Fujitsu and Sun Microsystems. Under license the manufactured machine, a US built SparcPlug Station, won the Best Performance category in the 1997 US AIM ‘Hot Iron’ Awards.
