/ Board Design and Development
Whether you are looking for outsourcing the design and development
of a high speed, high density multi-layer boards using high speed
Microprocessors / DSPs / FPGAs or a low cost two layer, moderate
speed micro-controller based board, Caravel is your right partner.
Caravel has done both, cost effectively.
Caravel has experience and knowledge to design boards to meets
various industry form factors, comply with various industry busses,
and interface using various standard peripheral interconnects, various
communication standards.
