IP Design
Stargate provides engineering services for developing intellectual property (IP) and/or complete FPGA/ASIC design. These tasks include architect, design, coding, simulating, synthesis, and test vector generation...

We can provide engineering services for developing board level designs including HDL and/or Schematic capture, PCB Design, and delivering complete prototypes...

We use PAL, FPGA, and ASIC technologies to build board level products. Reducing part count using these methods yields numerous benefits including reduced product cost and power consumption, and increased product reliability. This trend has been true for more than 35 years and has been the reason for the ever increasing complexity of manufacturing a product...

Stargate can provide turn-key development of motherboard electronics to drive complete products. We can work with customers to design products from the ground up or provide expertise in cost reducing an existing one...

Regulatory Approvals and Compliance
Reducing the number of components also helps decrease RF (Radio Frequencies) problems allowing easier compliance with FCC Part 15 A/B. More components generally require larger PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) and more signal layers which increase cost. Because the PCB is physically bigger, it creates more radiation because of the longer signal traces. Numerous product schedules have slipped because of FCC compliance issues. Vent holes designed in enclosures must also be designed carefully or they will leak RF energy. Frequently, plastic enclosures need to be shielded to battle RF emissions emitted by the PCB, resulting in major cost overruns and schedule slips...
