Product Planning and Development
KYODEN’s Product Planning Capability Acquired from
40Years of Work with Cutting-edge Technologies from the
Prototype Stage
Based on the ideal of “Converting ideas into reality”, we can offer support for PCBs, which are built into all kinds of electronic devices, from the planning stage. Taking ideas and leveraging our extensive manufacturing know-how to offer comprehensivebr support extending to the preparation of written specifications, estimation of costs, and schedule management, we support companies that do not possess their own fabrication facilities.
Talk to KYODEN if you have the following concerns
- We have a concept but
cannot translate it into
realistic specifications. - We have an idea but we
cannot envisage the budget
or delivery schedule. - This kind of project is a first
for us, so we want to
consign to a company with
a proven track record.
KYODEN can respond to all such cases.
KYODEN aims to be an ideal partner for helping customers realize new businesses.

Development Solutions
Formulation of Specifications
We hear the customer’s ideas and help convert them into reality.
We can handle all aspects including circuitry, software and housing specifications. Even in cases of wide-ranging development contents, we respond by forming project teams.
In cases of projects that require a high degree of expertise, we make proposals by collaborating with partner companies endowed with extensive experience.

Circuit Design
We have extensive experience ranging from high-speed communications and image processing, sensors, measurement and control to analog circuitry for power source and motor control and so on.
Since we also conduct procurement within the company, we select devices while also considering the ease of acquisition, etc. from the components selection stage.

| Manufacturer | Tool |
|---|---|
| Zuken | CR-8000 Design Gateway |
| CR-5000 System Designer | |
| Cadence | OrCAD Capture |
FPGA design
We have a very extensive design track record ranging from large-scale FPGA to small-scale CPLD and even items endowed with hard/soft CPU cores.
Moreover, we select appropriate manufacturers/devices while also considering the client’s development environment and possibility of future upgrading.
In RTL design, we create source codes with numerous comments for easier understanding in consideration of customization by the customer following delivery.
Furthermore, in addition to overall design, we can also provide design support in units of modules.
| Xilinx | Ultrascale+/MPSOC 7 Series/ZYNQ and all other series |
| Intel | 10 Series (MAX10, Cyclone10, Arria10, Stratix10) 5 Series 4 Series |
| Lattice | ECP3,CrossLink |
| Microsemi | IGLOO2,ProASIC3,PolarFire |
Software Design
We provide a wide range of services regarding design of embedded software and driver/app PC software. Moreover, considering that design flexibility is often required in product specifications and there are sometimes cases where it is more effective in term of performance and cost to conduct processing with software rather than hardware, we conduct appropriate design in conjunction with hardware design.
