Brüel & Kjær Sound and Vibration
We developed Signal Integry, FPGA, and complete board design that brought about a whole new method of combining ethernet and backplanes.
The Solution
The solution was a combination of FPGA and standard switch components. We created a low power active backplane that allows inactive parts to power down until they are needed again.
Axcon's Role
We were faced with a challenging design task, and we wanted to focus on decreasing power consumption. We achieved a flexible design that balances power usage and cost. Due to our solid signal integrity experience, we accomplished a stable design in the first version. Our design is versatile and can be easily revised should Bruel & Kjaer need to modify any part of the system. We provided them with extensive documentation as well.
Bruel & Kjaer's Advantage
Bruel & Kjaer were able to achieve a complete board design in shorter time, which dramatically improves the overall system flexibility.
"Through our partnership with Axcon, we were able to benefit from their external resources and experience in relation to this sort of development. We now enjoy great advantages from the FPGA technology in our systems - the outsourcing of the FPGA development has proven to be an ideal solution for our company." Werner Sørensen, |
