Electronics and Instrumentation

Many R&D programs require specialized electronics and instrumentation. While much is available off-the-shelf, commercial solutions may be a compromise at best and unsuitable at worst. For those latter situations, we offer our services on a contract basis. Our expertise and capabilities encompass

• Spice modeling, including combined A/D circuits, non-linear magnetics and lossy transmission lines,
• Bread-board design, layout, and testing,
• Computerized printed-circuit board layout and auto-routing, including multilayer boards and SMDs,
• Machine-shop services, performed by a master machinist, and
• Prototype brass-board construction and testing.

Although most of our work is related to the physical sciences, several programs involved areas of biotechnology, for example. Representative projects have included

• Microprocessor data acquisition for an aerosol analyzer,
• A multichannel solid-state trigger delay for BMD/CW field tests,
• A fast two-wavelength detector for optical pyrometry,
• A 10-kV ion-beam modulator using MOSFETs,
• A high-intensity, burst-mode Xe flash system, and
• Shock-pressure gauges and supporting electronics, including PVF₂, carbon, and manganin.

Let us develop a special-purpose instrument to your exacting specifications. For custom pulsed-power systems, please also refer to Plasma-Switch Pulse Generators or Solid-State Pulse Generators for additional examples of our capabilities. Your inquiries are invited.
