Competitive Analysis
Our experience covers many years of embedded benchmarking, one team member has been leading a cross functional team for competition analysis of 8 and 32-bit MCUs and last but not least it is our hobby to compare architectures and different implementations of identical CPUs. This service also includes to create presentations for internal and external use or fighting guides. 

Device Definition
Our expertise includes device definition of new 8-/16- and 32-bit microcontrollers / ASSPs. Sometimes, very small features will open up additional markets, or a poor pinout creates major conflicts for important applications, a bottleneck in the system such as a slow memory connection reduces the possible performance by a lot and so much more. Let an external expert provide feedback to your existing product planning. You will end up with a better device, involving minimal cost compared to a redesign or design loss.
References: Our lead engineer was heading the specification team of such a complex device like the 208-pin LPC2478 but also of devices like the 8-pin LPC901. Depending on the target applications completely different measures apply, all with the same goal to create a MCU that is successful in the market and makes money for the company. 

Feasibility Studies
You have a number of defined requirements for your next project, you have customers always wanting more, you also have a marketing department that uses the sky as the limit yet your budget has a rather limit and needs to fit the bottom line. This situation calls for best use of resources. We can help you to narrow down the selection of a MCU based on your parameters or recommend specific devices with a thorough analysis why one would be preferred over another. Whether you need the MCU with the highest computing performance, the best mixed signal combination, the most serial interfaces, the largest SRAM ... you name it, we can recommend it. Usually the device that matches all your requirements either does not exist or it is overkill. Together, we can discuss which of the requirements can be optional and how much money you can save by being flexible.

Embedded Tools Concept
Let's assume there is a product launch planned in a foreseeable future. This is a first for your team or the first with a new architecture, for example ARM Cortex-M3 or Cortex-M0. You would like to make sure your bases are covered with development tools that your customers accept and can afford. It is mandatory to provide a comprehensive set of tools for an easy start to avoid frustration. Such easy to use tools can make or break a product launch, let us help you to find the right tool partners and get reasonable pricing that will not break the bank.   

Representing your company at local trade shows
This service is offered to companies in the Embedded Development Tools business, companies that sell CAN related products and companies that would like to have a competent engineer representing their MCU products in Silicon Valley or anywhere else on the West Coast.
