Electronic Design
Design Consultant Service.
Peritus Power consults to all kinds of companies relative to electronic design. Some companies design their own electronics and simply use our services as a sanity check. At the opposite end of the scale are the companies with near zero electronic design capability, these companies have a product in mind and need the electronics designing for their end product or enclosure.
Electronic Design Service.
Design and prototype services are available for any electronic product, battery charges, amplifiers, security devices etc. This service is available to the entire industry, including clients with little or no technical capabilities in house, as well as supporting technical design teams. If you have an existing product requiring modifications, or are starting design of a new idea and need the electronics to support your product.
Peritus Power can consult on any electronic design project. We can arrange sub contractors for small or large build with full prototype support. Relative NDA's can be put into place to protect customers from IP contamination and to ensure the design is entirely owned by the original company.This service extends to hardware and software, for all old and new designs, we will arrange full design reviews, mechanical, electrical, software and design for manufacture (DFM), in addition to MTBF, FMEA and FMECA analysis.
Peritus Power caters for analog and digital designs, small or large complexity. Let us take your ideas and specifications and turn them into an end product.Key to success is your understanding of what you want to achieve, your product and the market you are aiming for. Peritus Power will help you define the path to a successful design.
Open Minded Attitude.
Peritus Power pride ourselves on our honesty. If for any reason we think your design, product or market place is flawed, we will advise you and provide the analysis to add substance. If we believe you could make your product even better in some way, we will be pleased to communicate this to you. We do not want you to waste your valuable time and resources.
Hardware Design.
Peritus Power have an abundance of experience in hardware design. We provide a thorough service to produce designs that meet specification, The following aspects detail some of design stages automatically catered for in a hardware design,
Specification
Block Diagrams
Theory Of Operation
Component De-rating to your specific requirements, or we can advise on the de-rating limits.
Circuit Diagrams And Component Selection
Magnetic Design And Selection Of Core Materials
Prototype Build And Debug
Design Changes From Prototype
MTBF and FMEA If Required.
Software Design.
Software is a complex task, with many aspects to consider in the design of a piece of software. The importance of each should reflect the goals the software is trying to achieve. Some of these aspects are:
Compatibility - The software is able to operate with other products that are designed for interoperability with another product. For example, a piece of software may be backward-compatible with an older version of itself.
Extensibility - New capabilities can be added to the software without major changes to the underlying architecture.
Fault-tolerance - The software is resistant to and able to recover from component failure.
Maintainability - The software can be restored to a specified condition within a specified period of time. For example, antivirus software may include the ability to periodically receive virus definition updates in order to maintain the software's effectiveness.
Modularity - the resulting software comprises well defined, independent components. That leads to better maintainability. The components could be then implemented and tested in isolation before being integrated to form a desired software system. This allows division of work in a software development project.
Packaging - Printed material such as the box and manuals should match the style designated for the target market and should enhance usability. All compatibility information should be visible on the outside of the package. All components required for use should be included in the package or specified as a requirement on the outside of the package.
Reliability - The software is able to perform a required function under stated conditions for a specified period of time.
Reusability - the modular components designed should capture the essence of the functionality expected out of them and no more or less. This single-minded purpose renders the components reusable wherever there are similar needs in other designs.
Robustness - The software is able to operate under stress or tolerate unpredictable or invalid input. For example, it can be designed with a resilience to low memory conditions.
Security - The software is able to withstand hostile acts and influences.
Usability - The software user interface must be intuitive (and often aesthetically pleasing) to its target user/audience. Default values for the parameters must be chosen so that they are a good choice for the majority of the users. In many cases, online help should be included and also carefully designed.
Your solution may require specialist software, particularly for medical or mission critical type environments whereby compliance to US FDA CFR and European CE is a fundamental requirement. Peritus Power can advise you on the best course of action according to your requirements. If you already have the software, or in house software capability, then we can accommodate the hardware part of the design, and support you at the stage when hardware meets software.
