Custom electronics, from concept to production.

From concept to production: schematics, multilayer layouts, embedded firmware, EMC pre-compliance support. For certified medical devices and precision instrumentation.

What we do

Co-design and system architecture

We join the project from the concept stage: together with the client we define architecture, regulatory constraints, platform choices and certification roadmap. We do this because we know that every early decision shapes what happens 18 months later in audit.

Electronic design and multilayer PCB layout

We develop schematics and multilayer PCB layouts, from the simplest configurations up to complex stack-ups with controlled impedance and HDI microvia technologies.

Embedded firmware, from bare-metal to RTOS

From 8-bit MCUs (HC08, PIC, AVR) to 32-bit ARM, RISC-V and DSP architectures, we develop firmware in C, C++ and assembly. We choose bare-metal or an RTOS (FreeRTOS, Zephyr) based on real-time, footprint and application-complexity constraints.

Instrumentation for EMC debug and pre-compliance

Spectrum analyzer, current and differential probes, wide-band oscilloscopes, logic analyzer. We identify and mitigate EMC issues during development, reducing pre-compliance cycles at accredited laboratories. We do not substitute accredited EMC labs for final compliance.

System bring-up and debugging

Hardware bring-up and firmware debugging with JTAG/SWD, logic analyzer, low-level signal analysis. Functional validation, driver integration, stress testing in realistic conditions before release.

Development compliant with sector standards

Development compliant with MDR, IEC 60601, IEC 61010, producing the technical documentation supporting CE-marking dossiers, FDA 510(k) submissions and ISO 13485 quality systems. Our internal DMS/QMS (Alfresco + OpenProject + Wiki.js) can be made available to the client for regulatory submissions.

Two of our boards

ST-LINE four-channel IEPE sensor front-end: render of the board with input connectors, excitation stage and the 24-bit converter.

Front-end for four-channel IEPE piezoelectric sensors, sampled simultaneously — the condition for reading a triaxial accelerometer without shifting the axes. 24-bit conversion over 20 kHz of bandwidth, up to 400 kSPS per channel, ±10 V AC input with 3.5 mA excitation and a non-isolated boost on board. It detects cable break and sensor short circuit.

Tools we built for electronics

Real client work produces open-source tools we publish so other engineers can use them. They are demonstrative — not a substitute for compliance tools — but they embody our approach to engineering computation.
