System Integration

Pultronics' designs are approached from a system-level perspective. For example, a high-performance 64x64 hybrid circuit in a 3D configuration has been developed to extend the number of ports and maximize the bandwidth of an analog switching system. Special software tools have been created to analyze, simulate and test these types of systems. Bidirectionnal amplifiers have also been developed for transparent multi-protocol systems.

A wide range of services is offered at system level, from technology choice to hardware/software co- design. Pultronics' solutions provide optimal performance by taking advantage of large-scale integration and by tailoring circuits to customer's needs.
