PRODUCT PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT

KYODEN’s Product Planning Capability Acquired from 40
Years 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.

      Deliverable
      ・Product specification document
      仕様策定
    • 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.

      Deliverable
      ・Circuit diagram/netlist, parts list, PCB design instruction document, etc.

      Circuit Diagram Input Support

      Companies sometimes want to conduct their own circuit design, however, they don’t have the time or
      resources to perform inputting to the circuit diagram CAD.
      KYODEN also support CAD inputting. We offer a broad range of services from checking of existing
      circuit diagrams with a red pen to creation of circuit diagram clean copies.

    • 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.

    • 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.
