BOARD LEVEL HARDWARE DESIGN

Today's hardware designs have become increasingly complex due to large scale IC integration, high clock frequencies, and extensive use of programmable logic.

With issues such as clock skew, transmission line effects, and complex register initialization sequences to consider, successful designs require in-depth knowledge of the digital, analog, and software domains.

At Stratus Engineering, we understand the issues involved in achieving quality high speed, high-density hardware designs.
