Hardware & FPGA Development
PCB design, power sequencing, and signal integrity. FPGA gateware on Xilinx and Intel — RTL through timing closure. Board bring-up and transition to production.
What We Build
We design digital hardware from concept through production — FPGA gateware, PCB layouts, and the firmware that brings them together. Our hardware engineers and FPGA designers work as a single team, eliminating the handoff problems that plague split-discipline projects.
FPGA Gateware
We develop RTL in VHDL and SystemVerilog for Xilinx (Artix, Kintex, Zynq) and Intel (Cyclone, Arria, Stratix) platforms. Our deliverables include synthesizable RTL, constraint files, simulation testbenches, and timing closure reports. For SoC-class devices (Zynq, Arria 10 SoC), we handle both the PL (programmable logic) and PS (processing system) integration.
PCB Design & Signal Integrity
We design PCBs for high-speed digital, mixed-signal, and RF applications. This includes impedance-controlled routing, power integrity analysis (PDN simulation), and EMC pre-compliance checks. We work in KiCad and Altium Designer, delivering manufacturing files (Gerber, BOM, pick-and-place) ready for contract manufacturing.
Board Bring-up
We take a bare PCB from first power-on through full functional verification. Board bring-up includes power rail sequencing validation, clock tree verification, high-speed interface testing (DDR, SerDes, LVDS), and firmware bootstrap — getting the first blinking LED to a fully operational system.
How We Work
Hardware projects follow a gate-based review process: concept → schematic review → layout review → prototype → bring-up → design verification → production handoff. Each gate has defined entry and exit criteria with sign-off documentation.
