Sample projects
Read here about the electronic design projects we have undertaken
| Industrial Ink Jet Drive Electronics | We developed the FPGA code for a sophisticated, high-performance ink jet print drive electronics unit. This was coded in VHDL and incorporates a 64-bit SDRAM controller, 16-channel 400MByte/s DMA & timing unit and eight 100Mbit/s serial bi-directional serial links. |
| High speed wired Comms | Multi-giga-bit video communications link for remote viewing and control of high resolution video. |
| Internet Radio | Stand-alone internet radio receiver module, connecting via Wi-Fi and using embedded Linux running on an ARM-based single-chip microcontroller. |
| Networked industrial Controller | Control for precision production line manufacturing equipment accessible via the Internet for remote monitoring, control and updating. |
| Media Server | PCI StrongARM based system for a low cost, distributed video on demand solution streaming to set-top boxes over a low cost network. |
| Set-Top Box | StrongARM based set-top box, capable of handling both MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 and multiple audio channels. |
| Psion Series 5 Palm Top Computer | We were employed by ARM to develop the embedded processor for the Psion Series 5 palm top computer. |
| Information Network System | Multi-user information retrieval and display system, supporting eight user screens for a share dealing information system used by Reuters in Hong-Kong. |
| Serial Concentrator | Communications processor which operates as the front-end to a host system. |
| Ethernet Bridge | Ethernet connection for a network of Active Badge sensors. |
| Robot Control Computer | Specialist robotic control system developed for 'creature animation', used in the film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - awarded a Science and Technology Oscar. |
| Ink Jet Printing Development System | Specialised system which combines a SCSI host connection and sustained data rates of 128MBytes/s to the ink jet head drive circuitry. |
| Industrial Control Computer | An ARM based computer system on a single extended Eurocard format. The system included SVGA screen adapter, keyboard, IDE interface together with a special purpose instrumentation ASIC. This ASIC was developed to support the processor in the generation and monitoring of 20 I/O signals with 1 microsecond accuracy in real-time. |
