Aftek is a product design and services company with hardware development as one of its competencies. With about 20 years of experience of working in this area, we worked on telecommunication, networking, storage, audio and video, automation, RF, and smart card based solutions.

The hardware development done in Aftek comprises:

• Hardware architecture development with new solutions based on off-the-shelf standard parts and configurable logic
• Board design activity involves hardware design, schematic design, simulation, PCB layout, assembly and designing multilayer boards for up to 12 layers
• Hardware validation system for validating functions of newly developed semiconductor chips
• Logic design (For CPLD & FPGA) - functional simulation, RTL design for CPLD and FPGA, logic optimization for CPLD & FPGA
• Board level testing and debugging consists of hardware board bring up. It makes use of logic analyzers and DSO for various interface functionality tests and debugging
• Board bring up involves implementing various low level drivers, assembly level code development for interface testing and low level drivers at HAL layer, downloading the same via JTAG port
• Product design consists of hardware architecture design, HW design, logic design, board design, mechanical design, plastics and enclosure selection guidelines
• Certification services (CE) - Documentation, actual CE tests-EMI/EMC tests, safety tests, environmental tests, etc.
• Hardware design services - Hardware design, prototype design, manufacturing sign-off documents
• Production sign-off documentation involves assembly Bill of Material (BoM) preparation, purchase BoM preparation, production test procedure, etc.
• ECO (Engineering Change Order) services - change requirements for various components / connectors and re-spin of board
