Mantaro Hardware Design Services
Mantaro has experience designing a variety of products that incorporate complex analog, digital and RF circuits. These differing technology areas must work well together to create the features and functionality that are required. Mantaro has expertise in designing in a mixed signal environment to create highly integrated solutions.
Analog Circuit Design
Mantaro knows that analog circuit design requires a highly disciplined development approach to control all of the variables. Mantaro’s top down design approach ensures a successful project and a quality design. The process begins with the development of a comprehensive requirements document. If necessary, this is followed by a feasibility study to reduce identified risks. Next, a high level system design and architecture is completed which leads in to circuit design, simulation, modeling and prototyping. A comprehensive test plan is developed and used to ensure that the resulting design meets the initial requirements.
Digital Circuit Design
Mantaro has extensive experience in digital circuit design. Whether it is circuitry for a product that incorporates a complex microprocessor and memory system or a signal processing system that combines high speed DSPs and custom FPGAs Mantaro can provide a full turnkey development solution. Mantaro has developed high speed circuits for telecommunications systems and satellite ground stations where signal integrity is essential. We have also developed data acquisition systems where digital system noise had to be carefully isolated from the analog signals being measured.
RF Circuit Design
Mantaro has experience designing a variety of products that incorporate RF circuits. Mantaro understands that RF circuit design requires a highly disciplined development approach to control all of the variables. Mantaro uses a design approach that incorporates simulation and rapid prototyping to ensure that designs are practical with real world components and other physical constraints.
Power Supply Design
Mantaro has extensive experience in power supply development ranging from off-line switches, DC-DC converters and battery chargers through linear applications. Mantaro also has experience with the latest wireless power technology and is now able to integrate that technology into new product developments. Power supply design is often bound by system constraints involving space, power dissipation, efficiency, thermal management, noise management, reliability, cost and weight. Our designs focus on reliability with thorough analysis and simulation of critical aspects such as stability, dynamic impedance, transient response, efficiency and conducted emissions. Custom magnetics are optimized for leakage inductance, core losses, emissions and cost. Our strengths include low noise, high efficiency, transient tolerant and high reliability designs.
RFI/EMI Design Consulting
Mantaro develops high-speed digital, low noise RF, analog and mixed signal designs adhering to various compliance standards. Mantaro can guide the EMI design process at each stage of development and manage the product through the compliance process with the appropriate labs. While we can help address EMI problems at the back end, design for EMI earlier in the process lowers cost and size, and significantly reduces execution risk.
