Electrical Engineering

SSSC engineers design everything from the custom camera electronics that generate imagery, to the custom DSP and FPGA electronics that processes real-time imagery,  to the custom image acquisition electronics that acquire the imagery for algorithm development, and the software to run it all.  Our most advanced systems are capable of full Hardware In the Loop (HITL) algorithm testing and verification.
We specialize in designing electronics to fit challenging SWaP requirements.  These often require rigid flex PCBs,  GigaBit SerDes based FPGA and DSP data transfers, and FPGA based processing with a concentration on performance while minimizing power consumption.
Electrical engineering capabilities at SSSC include:
  • Custom camera electronics and control
  • High speed mixed FPGA and DSP based designs 
  • Embedded programming
  • Close-proximity electronics
  • Mixed signal analog  & digital design
  • Data acquisition electronics design and programming
  • DSP algorithm optimization
  • Position and time stamping digital data products via GPS
  • High technology PCB from design to manufacture
  • 1.25  to 5 GHz PCB design for SerDes
  • Component selection and system design for -40C to 85C
Our latest designs feature the TI TMS320C6678 DSP and an Altera Cyclone V GX connected via Serial Rapid IO.  This very specialized design for our next generation spectral video processors could  be customized for your very specialized problem.

In addition, we have designed, built, and delivered various boards featuring Altera Cyclone III, Cyclone IV GX, and Cyclone V GX FPGAs.  All of those boards include Nios-II CPUs and custom Verilog Qsys components running the Qsys based SOC.

We have established relationships with other high complexity PCB design and manufacturing companies allowing us to deliver to our customers exceptional quality, complex products, always on time.

SSSC also employs mechanical engineers and computer science majors to complement our  electrical engineering capabilities with full mechanical design support, embedded application programming support, and PC application programming support.
