Circuit Design

The circuit diagrams are designed with the MENTOR Graphics Software. It is used for

• Graphical input of the schematics
• PCB routing
• Simulation of analogue electronics
• simulation of system behaviour

Board Layout

The circuit diagrams are converted to layouts using also the MENTOR Graphics Software

Microcontrollers

Preferable the ARM family is used. It is an architecture for different flavors of integrated peripherals produced by different manufacturies.

We use controllers with integrated field busses (CAN, RS232, Ethernet, TCP/IP).We design hardware around them and do pregramming for them.

We operate the controllers with two different operating systems: IAR and LINUX.

Control Systems

For the developed electronics software on PC's is developed to test the performance and support the tests of the production.

Labview, LINUX, Scripting and C-programming are used.

System Design

Electronic boards will to be combined to instruments and complete systems:

• Integration to hard- and software of accelarators and experiments
• Questions of grounding and EMC/SI
• Trouble shooting caused by interference to other installations

Prototype Construction

Prototypes and small number of instruments are manufactured inside the group. This includes equipment of the PCB's, construction of the housings, cables and front panel design.
