How we help our clients
We’re embedded systems developers.
Signal Integrity (SI) analysis and EMC engineering
Types of products we help design & develop
Embedded systems/subsystems with high-complexity electronics or software. These products often have functional safety or high-reliability requirements associated with them.
The products tend to be more on the industrial side than consumer, although we do some development on the high-end consumer product side. As such, production quantities generally tend to be on the low-medium volume end of the spectrum.

What a few of our clients have to say
Lots of thanks to the AppliedLogix [firmware] crew, they’re really keeping the train on the rails here.
Please pass along my thanks and appreciation to the AppliedLogix folks for pulling this one out of the fire… This is going to be big – you can’t believe the response. Product is dead-on for first generation.
A.L.’s capacity to frame and follow through on complex assignments is frighteningly good! I wish I could say it’s just youthful energy but you guys aren’t that young either. It’s very valuable.
We could never have done this without you pulling it together for us.
AppliedLogix has earned special recognition… the driving force behind the architecture specification, detailed design, PWB layout, and prototype design validation of this high-performance image path subsystem.
AppliedLogix’ commitment to quality and robustness has been a significant contributor to the success of our project.
The new layout for the AVDD power planes is excellent – great job of maximizing the clearance to critical input nodes… Very well thought out and executed… You should be proud of this work! Ship it!
Thanks for all you do to keep us moving in the right direction! Really appreciate how tightly run the AppliedLogix ship is.
You Nailed It.
…There are many high power / high current PWM channels and the critical low noise signals are perfectly quiet, there is no discernible noise at all. The layout is extraordinary – well done AppliedLogix!
Great news…my new boards arrived today and the DDR3 calibration and self-test passes right out of the box with flying colors – thanks for your help!
I couldn’t ask for better development engineers, they haven’t missed a beat…it’s really a pleasure to work with you guys!
