Expertise and innovation strengths that complement the core competences of the customer

Designers of todays electronic products face high economic and technical challenges leading to the use of highly integrated circuits such as field programmable gate arrays (FPGA). Since the early beginnings of the rapid evolution of FPGA technology, Array Electronics has been participating and gained a broad area of expertise about the application of FPGA devices from the market leaders Xilinx and Altera. We develop FPGA designs using VHDL and Verilog – high level hardware description languages – and synthesis and simulation tools from leading CAE vendors. We will advise you selecting the right FPGA that fits your requirements and will develop a structured and maintainable solution that you may carry on.
