Our Qualifications

Datasound Laboratories have been designing embedded platforms with x86 based processors since the inception of the company.

These have ranged from 8086 processor based modules through 80286, 80386 and 80486 to current Pentium processor units. Designs have included processor cards for modular type systems as well as fully integrated bespoke designs incorporating extremely specialised circuitry.

All of our design engineers are fully trained to recognised, IPC CID+, standards for circuit design and printed circuit board (PCB) design. This includes ‘Design For eXcellence’ (DFX), including ‘Design for Manufacture’ (DFM), ‘Design for Test’ (DFT) and ‘Design for Assembly’ (DFA). Design for EMC and safety issues is given high priory by all of our design engineers.

Our design team has experience in radio frequency (RF) designs and analogue designs as well as digital designs.

As such all design elements are handled in-house and can be controlled to the highest quality.

The nature of Datasound Laboratories’ business activities means that it develops relationships with a number of sub-contractors, each with specialist skills, which, as a whole, complement Datasound Laboratories’ design expertise.

This arrangement has proven successful on a number of projects, where volumes in excess of fifteen thousand per annum have been achieved.
