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.
