You’re welcome to take a look at our
Sample Designs list... and to our Testimonials page.
For Board-Level Design (PCB), we work in partnership with two small and highly specialized companies, allowing us to design the most challenging PCBs.
If you let us quote a design, you should notice that our costs are usually only a fraction of the (serious) competition, and our delays way shorter (hint: that’s why we are cheaper !).

We can design a complex FPGA in just 2 to 3 weeks !
If needed : we can also build a hardware prototype for you.

There is no magic there : we are a small and technical company with low overhead, very flexible, and extremely efficient. And we only use the best methodology (don’t forget : we also teach HDLs and Design !).

With ALSE, Your Success is Guaranteed, by Contract !

We have acquired a very solid reputation for on-time delivery, and for our Projects that are “right the first time”. Our customers benefit from our strong experience and from our bullet-proof Methodology (the very same one we also teach !).

We have a strong experience in many domains including (no specific order) :

  • Systems on Chip,
  • Industrial Control ,
  • Regulation,
  • Hardware Digital Signal Processing (FFT/iFFT, narrow-band FFT, Digital Down conversion, Filtering, real-time 2-D filtering, convulation & Sobel filters, FIR/IIR/CIC and other filters, ...)
  • Multi-chanel Direct Digital Receiver,
  • Processors,
  • Telecommunications ,
  • Avionics Systems (military and civilian),
  • DO254 certification of HDL code.
  • 1553 Bus (spy, controller, and behavioral models), Arinc 429, ...
  • Data Acquisition and transmission,
  • Mixed VHDL-C models,
  • VHDL behavioral modelling
  • SystemC behavioral modelling
  • Complex Hardwired  Algorithms ,
  • Interfaces : UART, SPI, EPP, ADC, DAC, Microcontrollers, ...

Some of our Designs :

  • Single FPGA real-time Video acquisition, transformation, and compression-expansion system (CCD camera resized and over-sampled to XVGA output 1024x768 at 60Hz).
     
  • Single FPGA controller for an Arc-welding machine (High Frequency High Efficiency Quasi-resonnant power converter with PWM and PID servo loop control). Very compact and versatile design.
