How we help

Your FPGA is only as good as the board it sits on. We design boards for punishing environments, and we design them alongside the logic and firmware that will run on them.

  • In parallel, not in sequence

    Your board is designed alongside the RTL and firmware, not after them, so the hardware and the code come online together.

  • RTL and firmware in the schematic review

    A clock that lands on a plain GPIO pin can cripple performance or force a respin. Our RTL and firmware engineers help make the early design decisions and review the schematic before layout starts.

  • From dev board to custom hardware

    From cost-effective 2-layer boards to 20+ layer HDI with 2,000+ pin SoCs. We can work with your team or take on the whole process, with our contract manufacturers and suppliers or yours.

  • Fits your mechanical design

    We integrate your boards into your enclosure and work within its physical and thermal limits, with rigid-flex and creative heat sinking where they help.

Right the first time

Every board spin costs weeks. Here's how we avoid them:

  • Stackups and via spans

    Complex stackups and via spans designed and managed from the start, not patched in layout.

  • High-speed buses that work

    We've mastered Altium's advanced design rules, so high-speed interfaces work on the first boards.

  • Your fab partners or ours

    We lock the stackup and design rules with your fab or ours up front. DFM review becomes a formality, not a fire drill.

  • Built for harsh places

    Designs that keep performing in the harshest environments, where a repair in the field isn't an option.

Speed and agility are on our side. There's no corporate bureaucracy, just expert engineers working with your team. For defense and space programs, our 100% US-citizen, ITAR-registered team works with vetted US fabrication and assembly partners.
