HARDWARE DESIGN
Hardware design is carried out through the following steps and criteria:
System architecture design, in terms of:
- functional blocks and corresponding electronic boards
- functional requirements of each blocks, and input/output characteristics
- logic and physical connections among blocks/boards and external environment. Example: communication signal type/cables and connectors
Block/board design
Use of optimized circuital solutions for each application. The optimization is obtained maximizing the sum of the following elements, according to their weights assigned for each design
- safety
- performances
- price
- reliability
- miniaturization or conformity to specific physical dimensions
- use of specific components
Component selection, according to previous and following criteria
- stability of feedback circuits, according to specified margins
- respect of functional limits of each component, according to their mutual connection, to connection to external devices, to power source, and to environmental conditions
Conformity with standards
- We can perform some preliminary tests for compliance to electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards. Moreover, we offer full support for test execution at accredited laboratories.
