The customers for NVE's design services have included commercial customers, ranging from SBIR-based enterprises to Fortune 500 companies, the U.S. Government, colleges and universities. Circuit Design NVE has complete circuit design capability, including schematic capture and both digital and analog simulation, and experience with circuits ranging from a simple four resistor bridge sensor to a complex 1 Mbit memory chip. For highest accuracy, custom IC designs are tailored to a target wafer foundry and foundry supplied device models are used for circuit simulations.
All circuit designs begin with a description of the required inputs, outputs, and functionality.
If these circuit specifications are well known by the customer, then NVE can immediately begin the circuit design. Additional items that can be generated as requested include parts lists, written circuit descriptions, and recommended test and verification procedures. NVE is experienced in the design of embedded m C systems, including software development, using various different models and makes of m C. Completed systems include a high speed, multiple input, battery powered data recorder with nonvolatile memory, and a sensor array controller and interface system. Typical embedded m C system design includes all design aspects that are required to produce a complete, ready to run system. This includes overall system specification, circuit design, PCB layout, software design, and the physical system design including the enclosure, interface connections, display and indicator components, and control or input components.
