// Phases complete 3 / 6
  1. 1 · Feasibility & ROM Completed 2026-04-15

    Initial intake reviewed. Confirmed standard catalog adapter PC-ADP-XC9572XL is a direct footprint match for your XC9572XL CPLD on the TR-880 motherboard. ROM cost band delivered within 5 business days as committed.

    // Delivered: Feasibility memo, ROM cost band
  2. 2 · NDA & detailed quote Completed 2026-05-08

    Mutual NDA executed 2026-04-22. Detailed Technical Questionnaire returned 2026-05-03 with full signal characterization (36 I/O, 8 power/ground). Firm fixed-fee quote delivered, signed off via your PO-2026-0512.

    // Delivered: Signed NDA, signed SOW, firm quote
  3. 3 · Engineering & layout In progress · started 2026-05-12

    Transposer PCB layout under way against your signal characterization. Onboard level translators sized for your 5 V CMOS host-side signals; modern target FPGA selected (Lattice MachXO2-1200ZE) sized to your I/O count with headroom. Manufacturing files release expected this week.

    // Active: Engineering, PCB layout, BOM finalization
  4. 4 · First-article fabrication & test Target: 2026-06-14

    Five first-article PC-ADP-XC9572XL adapter boards fabricated and bench-tested against your signal characterization. Pin-by-pin verification, I/O timing measurements, level-translation validation under the −40 to +85 °C operating range.

    // Expected: 5 first articles + test report
  5. 5 · Customer integration Target: 2026-07-15

    First-article units shipped to your facility for incoming inspection and integration onto a single TR-880 motherboard. PhatCat engineering on call during your bench validation; any I/O behavior questions handled within one business day.

    // Expected: Integration approval from Acme
  6. 6 · Production release Target: 2026-08-30

    Production lot of 200 units fabricated, fully tested, and shipped per your release schedule. Production package: lot codes, certificate of conformance, per-unit test data, MIL-STD-883 screening documentation.

    // Expected: 200 units, full conformance package
