Product development and design

Our team has a wealth of experience covering:

• Digital/analogue interfacing and conversion, signal processing, digital interface logic including programmable devices e.g FPGA. 
• A wide range of microprocessor based designs from small AVRs/PICs to large multi-core devices such as ARM Cortex-A, capable of running full operating systems e.g Linux.
• Standard communication and sensor interfaces e.g SPI, I2C, I2S, 1-wire, CAN, RS-232/422/485, 4-20mA loop. 
• Higher level and complexity interfaces such as CANopen, EtherCAT.
• High speed interfaces including HDMI, PCIe, SATA, USB, SDRAM (DDR-3 etc), SD/eMMC, Ethernet (10/100/1000) etc. that require controlled impedances and signal integrity analysis. Design to meet EMC standards for ESD, conducted and radiated emissions and immunity.
