Mixed signals ?
|
|
Many purely analogical functions can be fulfilled today at
lower cost and with better performances by using digital
technologies. Reciprocally many digital projects are too complex
or not powerful enough, by under evaluation of the possibilities
but also of the difficulties related to their analogical environment.
This is the complex field of mixed signals, source
of innovation and drastic cost reductions, but also source of delays in
many projects. And it is the specialty of ALCIOM
: The definition, design and development of optimal architectures in term
of cost and performances, by an integrated approach and a real multi-field
expertise.
