Chip Design on Ulitzer From Atom to Multicore Processors, Orchid Technologies can design a custom Intel Architecture solution to meet your specific requirements. Orchid's Core2 Quad Processor board is feature packed. Designed for ruggedized operation in a small air-cooled package, our Core2 Quad Processor design is alone in its class. Critical to the success of any custom Intel Architecture design is the Embedded Controller. Orchid has developed and ported numerous Embedded Controller designs. These designs, based on Renesas 2117 and Renesas 2472 H8 processors offer ACPI, PS2 Keyboard, and Power Sequencing services. Intel Architecture requires BIOS software customization and porting. Orchid Technologies can customize a BIOS for your embedded application's specific needs. Working with core BIOS, we will port and write firmware for your specific needs. The developme... (more)

Orchid Technologies Engineering and Consulting, Inc., Designs Solar Power System

Maynard, MA- “Small to moderate sized solar energy arrays must make use of efficient, safe energy storage systems,” says Paul Nickelsberg, President and CTO of Orchid Technologies. “Applications with high current low duty cycle demand can tax standard battery storage systems. Orchid Technologies was selected to perform the custom design of a high current, low duty cycle energy delivery and Lithium Ion battery management system. Our custom, scalable design provided battery management and power delivery in increments of 2000 Watts each. Multiple units can be combined to satisfy a v... (more)

Orchid Technologies' latest circuit board design features dual Altera Cyclone devices.

Orchid Technologies is an old hand at Altera FPGA and CPLD design and development. Working within Altera's new Quartus environment gives Orchid much greater design control. Orchid inputs design data in AHDL, Verilog or VHDL depending upon the required FPGA performance. Altera PROBE signals and Quartus' rapid compile time permits enhanced debug and timing verification, once the design actually hits the lab bench. Quartus simulation and test bench facilities allow pre-verification of the design before circuit board implementation. Using on-chip synchronous SRAM, Orchid implemented... (more)

Orchid Technologies Designs LORAN Software Receiver

Orchid Technologies on Ulitzer Built for flexibility and power, the 500MHz TMS320C6713 provides high performance floating point processing to make the receiver highly configurable. The analog front-end design with variable gain and ‘Q’ is perfect for changing conditions on land and sea. The highly selective system provides software controlled gain selection over 120dB of dynamic range. “This receiver represents a breakthrough in performance and power,” says Paul Nickelsberg, President and Senior Engineer at Orchid Technologies. “High speed floating point digital processing make...
