Hardware Design

The Hardware design division specializes in both board and chip designs ranging from high-end microprocessors to small form-factor micro-controllers using bus technologies such as ISA, VME, PCI, PXI, cPCI, USB. Our capabilities range from high-end analog circuits to complex digital and mixed circuit designs, FPGA/PLD cores, etc

     

Services

Our key focus areas include:  

VLSI design including device selection, fit, entry design, synthesis

VHDL, Verilog 

Schematics Designs for FPGA/PLD using Xilinx, Quick Logic, Cypress

Simulation of vectors and test cases to study feasibility of VLSI Designs

Test fixture generation for setup, post-layout timing verification/validation
