Electronics Design & Development
Briefly on Services
Briefly on ServicesThe departmental Electronics Design & Development group offers custom-design electronics for the experimental groups of the institute. Designs over the past years cover a wide spectrum of both analog and digital electronics. Fast switching High voltage/current designs (up to tens of kV/A) driving a variety of capacitive and inductive loads have also been carried out, with excellent results. Much work has been done in FPGA- and microprocessor-based systems. When possible designs are performed in a modular manner so that for commonly encountered sub-functions, tested designs are in place, which can quite often be adapted to meet altering needs. This in-house design and development of custom electronic equipment is advantageous, since subsequent modification of designs to meet changing or new requirements can be performed more easily. |

Concept

Chances are that we can design a device specially developed for your measurement at hand that better suits your needs than a general purpose off-the-shelf instrument. So discuss your requirements with us and we will see what we can do. Before we start with the design though, we do first evaluate, in internal team discussions, the feasibility of the requirements and the chances of success.
Caveat

We work on a best effort basis. But being a small group with limited resources, we are most often quite busy. As a result, you may have to wait long for your project to get completed. It would be appreciated, and very helpful for us, and of course for you, if you discuss your project requirements with us already in its early stages. As a service department, we work essentially based on a sort of "First-In, First-Served" waiting-list. Measured over the long term, we make an effort to give as fair a proportion of our time to all experimental groups. Due to the nature of our work - designing and optimizing electronics devices - we can not commit ourselves to binding deadlines or delivery dates with any precision. You are of course welcome to occasionally inquire about the progress of your project.
