Low power Intel Atom Z540 Processors are breaking new ground. Power conscious, embedded computing designs can now benefit from the enormous compatibility of Intel IA32 CPU architecture. Orchid Technologies has integrated Atom Z540 Processors into industrial controller applications, vision system applications, communications processors, and handheld devices. Our clients benefit by using industry standard software in their custom applications. Atom...

“Small to moderate sized solar energy arrays must make use of efficient, safe energy storage systems,” says Paul Nickelsberg, President and CTO of Orchid Technologies. “Applications with high current low duty cycle demand can tax standard battery storage systems. Orchid Technologies was selected to perform the custom design of a high current, low duty cycle energy delivery and Lithium Ion battery management system. Our custom, scalable desi...

The low cost, miniature, brushless DC motor controller packs enormous power into a tiny electronics package. Designed to drive 48-Volt brushless DC motors up to 1400 watts, this miniature controller may be the smallest in its class. Small physical sizes make it possible to develop high torque and operating speeds when overall product size and weight are application limited.

This microprocessor based steering angle sensor provides real-time steering angle data over the CAN-Bus. Automotive electronics present demanding requirements to the electronic product designer. High volume, low cost and highly rugged, feature packed designs are necessary to win. This automotive steering angle sensor can sense high-resolution angle displacement of 1400 degrees of rotation and beyond.

Orchid Technologies Engineering and Consulting, Inc., with its new ATOM processor technology core design, can combine custom electronic hardware with an ATOM processor core. The result is a highly integrated circuit board solution customized for your applications needs. The development time and risk are low, because Orchid Technologies has done much of these designs before. Your custom design builds on our firm foundation of design success.

Orchid Technologies Engineering & Consulting has completed the development of a LORAN Software Radio Receiver designed for long range navigation. Orchid Technologies selected the Texas Instruments TMS320C6713 floating point DSP processor for the four-channel LORAN receiver implementation.

The AdvancedTCA Carrier Blade electronics design demands the most from any engineering team. The 32-bit, 1.3 GHz processor with 48 lanes of PCI Express peripheral support and fat-pipe I/O support is a performance champion. The design also has customized Zone 3 RTM connectivity. In addition, Renasas SH8-based IPMI resource management supports over 200 Watts of on-board hot-swap power control making this ATCA Blade highly reliable.
