We have extensive experience in digital system design. Our expertise includes:

• High-speed logic design and development (TTL, ECL, PECL, CMOS)
• Programmable logic (Altera, Xilinx)
• Interfaces (serial, IEEE-488, VXI/VME, PCI, SCSI, custom)
• Accurate programmable system delays to less than 100 picoseconds
• Digital Signal Processor (DSP) custom utilization in real-time processing applications
• Development tools for programmable logic and DSP hardware/software development
• Design, layout, and checkout of extensive multi-layer Printed Circuit assemblies (up to 18 layers)
• Extensive experience in thermal, signal transmission line and sensitive grounding (noise) issues associated with analog-to-digital circuits.

Our software engineers have experience developing both large-scale and small-scale applications. Application interfaces have been developed for positioner control, high-speed data acquisition and storage, hardware control, GUI, and data/image processing (radar, Pulse-Doppler, step-chirp, tomographic).
