Solutions for the lab

In the fast-paced semiconductor industry, time-to-market is everything. We deliver end-to-end tailored evaluation board solutions that ensure your silicon is validated to the highest industry standards. On time, every time.

We integrate seamessly as a natural extension of your team and colaborate closely to understand your DUT (device under test) requirements. Then we leverage our extensive expertise as senior engineers from the ASIC industry to build your evaluation boards for the lab. From schematic and layout to manufacture, assembly, debug and bring-up, we manage the entire life cycle of your boards and deliver ready-to-use complex solutions while allowing your team to stay focused on what really matters for tape out.

We are a small but highly specialized firm by design. To maintain our standards of excellence, we limit our project intake to ensure your silicon receives all the attention it deserves.

All in one

We manage the entire life cycle of your boards, maximizing efficiency and freeing your team to focus on the core priorities

From Concept to Design

We adapt to your silicon evaluation strategy. Whether you need a highly integrated monolithic board or a modular approach with daughter cards to maximize reuse, we have you covered. We manage the entire board engineering lifecycle internally, eliminating the inefficiencies and overheads of coordinating with multiple vendors, thereby enhancing overall productivity and ensuring lab readiness upon silicon arrival. Our expertise spans a broad spectrum of DUT types, such as RF, PMIC, MMIC, MEMS and linear devices.

  • Modular or monolithic
  • Dense multi layer
  • Focus on EVB boards
  • FPGA / DDR4 / Big BGA
  • High connectivity
  • All-in-one engineering

Schematic and PCB Layout

Our workflow begins with schematic design and component selection, opimizing your BOM for cost and component lifecycle availability. We conduct periodic technical reviews and schematic sign-off meetings with your team prior to initiating the layout phase. During layout, we perform careful stack-up planning and implement stringent signal and power integrity constraints to maintain signal integrity, minimize crosstalk, mitigate voltage drops and control EMI. We incorporate robust DFM and DFT rules to optimize yield and testability. We ensure hardware robustness from the EMC standpoint, a critical requirement for noisy environments like the lab.

  • Component selection
  • Signal and Power integrity
  • High speed / RF design
  • DFM / DFT
  • EMC robustness
  • Cadence / Altium / Kicad

Manufacture and Assembly

We specialize in the production of small batches of high quality boards. Since all our hardware is assembled in Europe, we are highly responsive and ready to deliver fast turnarounds. We debug every board prior to delivery, running tests like continuity, temperature, current leaks, or BGA X-ray. We also perform board-specific checks like cycling through all i2c slave devices. Because each board undergoes rigorous testing you eliminate unnecessary debugging and rework, ensuring there are no surprises and the hardware is functional on day 0.

  • Component sourcing
  • Quick spinouts
  • Board manufacturing
  • Full in-house testing
  • Component assembly
  • Board bring up

Board Control Software

We provide comprehensive software solutions to interface with your boards. Whether you need libraries to integrate with your lab’s existing software ecosystem or a full standalone solution for demonstration or other purposes, we will implement and deliver the board software fully tested and ready to work alongside the hardware. We have extensive experience in the development of evaluation software for the lab using Python and LabVIEW. To meet your specific needs, we can also handle the implementation of advanced GUIs with C/C++ and frameworks such as Qt or Gtk.

  • User GUI
  • LabVIEW / Python / C / C++
  • Linux / Windows
  • Linux kernel tuning
  • Device Drivers
  • Embedded systems
