Project Management
|
|
Our structured approach to project management provides the framework from which
concept definition, product development, and production are executed. The result
is projects that meet their technical requirements and are completed on time and
within budget.
|
|
|
Thoughout each project, progress and deliverable reviews are conducted regularly.
You are kept informed of the status of your project.

System Architecture
|
|
Our extensive experience with complex electronic and software systems is key to
choosing the best architecture to meet your requirements. Some of the things
we consider include:
|
|
|
the risks and benefits of emerging versus mature technologies |
|
|
capabities and limitations |
|
|
cost versus performance |
|
|
where to put the smarts |
|
|
production requirements |
|
|
|
The system architecture forms the foundation for the entire project.
Deliverables from this activity include technical specifications,
acceptance test plans, interface control documents, and high-level
flow diagrams.

Simulation
|
|
Modern computer-aided-design tools allow many possibilities to be
explored before committing to a circuit design. We use a variety of
analog, digital, and RF design, simulation, and optimization tools
to make sure our designs will perform as intended.

Hardware, Firmware, and Programmable Logic Design
|
|
|
Microlynx has experience with a wide range of digital components.
We design with processors that range from low-power, low-speed,
8-pin devices through to high end CISC, RISC, and DSP processors.
Our engineers also have the tools and skills to write the
firmware embedded in a processor, and the logic embedded in
programmable logic and FPGA devices.
|
|
|
Add to that our knowledge of industry standard form factors, busses,
interfaces, and communication protocols, and the result is solid,
manufacturable designs.

RF Design
|
|
Microlynx has in-depth experience in RF and microwave system and circuit
design. We have done work ranging from HF single-sideband radios to Ka-band
digital microwave transceivers, in both licensed and unlicensed bands.
Our test equipment handles RF circuitry up to 6 GHz.
|
|
|
Our strength in this field is in the integration of RF circuitry with
digital control circuitry. This results in highly integrated transceiver
designs that can either stand alone or become part of a larger system.

|
|
Software Design
|
Our software development staff can rapidly develop DOS and Windows
applications written in assembly, Pascal, or C++ languages. Some of
the applications we've written include:
|
|
|
client / server systems with basic database support |
|
|
mapping and positioning |
|
|
device interfacing and test jig support |
|
|
simulators and compilers |
|
|
device drivers and protocol implementations |
|
Our development tools also include help compilers and installation
package generators, allowing us to create complete software solutions.

Mechanical and Industrial Design
|
|
An integral part of product design is its enclosure. Factors such as
looks, human interface needs, environmental, reliability, safety,
electostatic and electromagnetic compatibility, and manufacturing
requirements are all taken into consideration during enclosure design.
|
|
|
We are capable of undertaking simple industrial and mechanical design
in addition to our electronics design capabilities. When the
requirements of a project are beyond our capabilities, we bring in
skilled industrial designers with proven design experience.
