Custom-made Development

Choosing the Solution

If you are facing a problem whether to start a development project using your own capabilities or using an external supplier, further information may help you to find the best alternative.

The whole range of our products has been developed entirely by our staff. Since 1994 we have been gaining experience with the development more than hundred of PC add-on cards (ISA, PC/104, PCI and PCI Express) and over 300 types of microcontroller boards.

We do not aim to high production volume; innovating and modifying of various devices and systems make up most of our production. Regarding to our own wide and systematic development program we are ready to solve custom applications in short-term periods, using today's best available components and technology. Based on our long-standing experience, when a customer comes with his own idea of the electronic device design, we realize that we had already designed similar one before. This saves both money and time.

We may Offer to You

development and manufacturing of electronic device conforming to ISO 9001 Quality Management System (QMS)
an experienced development team with the know-how of modern trends in the electronics field
the possibility of overtaking your semifinished project in any stage between the idea and realization
approved contacts with significant Europian component suppliers, experience in purchasing components from world lead suppliers
our own premises for short-run production - both THT (Through Hole Technology) and SMT (Surface Mount Technology) up to 0.3mm pin pitch, experience with managing batch production including the subdeliveries from our external suppliers
PC add-on card development - ISA, PCI, PCI Express (we are a member of PCI Special Interest Group.

Development department provides:

ECAD workplace for PCB design utilizing the Mentor Graphics ECAD system
systems for the design of Lattice, Altera and other gate arrays
development software resources (firmware for Intel '51, ARM7, Cortex M3)
development software resources for PC applications
development software resources for programming drivers (Windows drivers, Control Panel, Control Web, ...)
wide range of measurement equipment
own service and calibration center

Manufacturing department provides:

solution for populating of SMD devices, including a high precision SMD pick and place machine for high mix production Essemtec FLX2010V (allowing to populate components up to 0.3 mm pin pitch and Ultra Fineline BGA) and vapor phase soldering technology oven.

rework station for unsoldering and repair
solution for manual soldering of THT and SMT components
precision outgoing quality control of the finished products

Technologies, we have been already using:

PCI Express, PCI, ISA and PC/104 industrial standards
ethernet 10/100 Mbit/s; standard TCP/IP stack solution (ARP, IPv4, ICMP, UDP, TCP), support of several application protocols (like HTTP)
gigabit ethernet; our own implementation of MAC into FPGA supporting lower protocols from ethernet to UDP with minimaly limited data throughput
special serial synchronous LVDS bus for continuous baud rates of more than 30 MB/s (ideal solution for connecting two nodes)
USB bus; support of full-speed (12 Mbit/s) and high-speed (480 Mbit/s) mode, USB mass-storage class support (USB flash devices) and more
serial communication standards as RS-232, RS-422, RS-485; we utilize AI-Bus2 protocol (proprietal MicroUnit series module protocol) and Modbus RTU; more than 10,000 of realized interfaces of microcontroller units and communication cards is a sufficient proove of reliability of our designs
many other bus types (e.g. CAN, Flexray, SSI, E1 G-703)
experience with analog television encoding systems PAL and NTSC, our own implementation into FPGA of HDTV, color modes RGB and YUV, composite video signal, S-video
digital television standards; support of DVI, HDMI under development
experience with the GPS receiver signals, e.g. systems for precise time synchronization
analog signal processing of technological sensors; the modules of the MicroUnit series support all common thermocoupler sensors, resistance sensors, tensometers, incremental sensors, LVDT, ...
application of high accurate ADC with more than 20-bit resolution or sampling frequency more than 10 MHz
signal generation; using DAC or generating with direct digital synthesis (DDS)

Our Custom Realizations

Our custom products operate in ŠKODA AUTO a.s. Mladá Boleslav, control the silicon furnace in Tesla Sezam, control the properties on the main stage of the National Theater, were used when rebuilding the control station in Dukovany nuclear power plant and in many systems realized by the Ministry of Interior and Ministry of Defence of the Czech Republic.

Among many well-known customers let's mention Matsushita Television Central Europe, Rohde&Schwarz, TESLA Sezam (today's ON Semiconductor), or AVX Czech Republic.
