Rapid Electronic Product Development

Why spend months designing circuit boards?
Would you rather use proven hardware?
Is time to market important to you?
Where possible we try to recommend rapid electronic product development
solutions which leverage off existing off-the-shelf OEM boards and modules.
For example we may suggest programmable microprocessor based boards with various I/O, flash and
RAM options that can be interfaced with other electronics modules - communications modules, screens, keypads, etc.
These boards are available with schematics, documentation, and free technical support.
Using a selection of OEM boards and modules we can significantly reduce your time to market.
Compact single board computers
Single board computers are microprocessor based programmable circuit
boards with various I/O options. They include supporting hardware
to interface the microprocessor with other electronics. Typically
supporting hardware includes ethernet, serial ports (RS232, RS485),
digital I/O, 4-20mA inputs and outputs, USB, etc.
Using such a board can significantly reduce the product development
time. Because the production volume of these boards is high the
price is often attractive.
Microprocessor core modules
A microprocessor based printed circuit board (PCB) with flash and RAM
can reduce your time to market. These boards include a
microprocessor, flash, RAM, reset chip and a real-time clock.
A microprocessor based PCB can be plugged into custom designed electronics specifically designed for your application.
These microprocessor modules can come many libraries including a free TCP/IP stack.
Examples of Communications modules
- GSM modem / GPRS modem
- Short range wireless communications - eg bluetooth, 802.11, WiFi
- Satellite transceivers - Iridium, Inmarsat, Orbcomm and Globalstar
- Ethernet TCP/IP boards
Examples of Application kits and add-on development kits
- colour touchscreen display
- camera interface module
- embedded PLC
- Zigbee
- Wireless control
- Secure (SSL) embedded web server
- Serial to ethernet
Advantages
The advantages of rapid electronic product development include:
- Reduced time to market
- Little or no hardware development/circuit design required
- Uses rugged and proven hardware
- Add features just by changing the software
- OEM modules typically meet EMC/EMI standards
- Low level software development is complete. For example, say, TCP/IP stack or drivers for an ethernet port.
The Rabbit Semiconductor range offers a solution
For example, the rabbit semiconductor product range has compact microprocessor boards, single board computers, OEM modules, and application development kits which can significantly reduce your time to market.
