There are many companies that can offer either hardware or software design services, but what makes Lascaux stand out from the crowd is our ability to offer in-depth, high-quality design in both fields.

At Lascaux we frequently get involved in projects that have both a software and hardware element. Our extensive software experience, along with many years designing and working with digital and mixed-mode electronics, makes us an ideal choice for work involving both disciplines.

Our specific hardware experience and capabilities can be summarized as follows:

		Digital system electronics design and analysis.
		Design of microprocessor and microcontroller based systems using a wide variety of processor hardware.
		Analogue and mixed-mode circuit design and analysis.
		Digital signal processing using several different DSP platforms.
		Development of Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), including:
			Schematic capture and VHDL based circuit design
			VHDL based functional simulation and test
			Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) development
			Full-custom ASIC development, including vendor selection and liaison
		Design experience for a wide range of target hardware bus systems, including:
			PCI & Compact-PCI
			ISA and PC-104
			AGP
			PCMCIA and Cardbus
			USB
			IEEE-1394 (Firewire)
			VME
			RS-232 and RS-485
			IEEE-1284
		Design and development of hardware systems for diverse market sectors, including:
			Consumer appliances
			Computer systems
			Encryption systems
			Network interfaces
			Process control systems
			Remote control

Complete turnkey hardware development from concept, through design, analysis, PCB creation and prototyping, to system integration, manufacture and assembly.

A strong understanding of the design rules and test methods applicable for targeting, testing and qualifying conformance of electronic systems with EMC regulations in both the EU and the US.
