What to expect


Electro-mechanical product development from idea inception to fully functional, industrial standard device. We will handle projects that include developing digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms, firmware/software running on high end embedded microprocessors and PC. Full design of analogue and digital electronic hardware with multi-layer printed circuit boards (PCB) and embedded MCU/DSP firmware, including FPGA VHDL RTL Code and PC software.

Design solutions we can employ include:

• Electromagnetic: CST, Comsol
• 2D and 3D Machine Design tools:  SolidWorks, AutoCAD Fusion, Catia
• Proprietary and Graphical programming language: MatLAB, LabView
• Microcontrollers: Microchip PIC, Texas Instruments TMS320F28XX, all 8051 variants, STMicroelectronics STM8, Renesas R8C and M16C
• MC development tools: Keil MDK-ARM, Microchip MPLAB, Keil 8051 IDE, Texas Instruments Code Composer Studio, Intel ASM51 Assembler
• Printed circuit board (PCB) design tools: Altium Designer, OrCAD, CadSoft EAGLE
• Circuit simulation tools: Cadence OrCAD, TINA SPICE, LTspice, NI Multisim
