Knowledge Resources
completes Xilinx Virtex 5LX330T design December 2008, The on-time completion of a complex 12
layer PCB supporting the largest Xilinx FPGA of the Virtex5 family. The rapid
implementation of two instances of QDRII Ram and several multi gigabit serial
links marks another milestone in our high speed PCB design capabilities. The BER-targets of the serial links and data
throughput of the QDR interfaces were met with the initial layout, allowing
our client to quickly move the design to production.
Knowledge Resources
becomes an Altium Service bureau May 2008, With the
ongoing upgrades to the latest Altium Designer software, Knowledge Resources
has reinforced its commitment to provide high quality PCB layout services at
short turnaround times

Resources joins Toradex ® Alliance November
2007, Toradex
and its product line of high performance low power computing modules are
revolutionizing the price/performance ratio of the embedded computing world.
Since Knowledge Resources has already proven its capabilities with a variety
of successful Colibri ® carrier board designs, the
integration of our engineering resources into the Toradex support network was
a natural next step. For design-in support related to the Toradex product
palette, please contact basel@toradex.com or call 0041 61 545 8900.

Advanced
High-frequency capabilities May
2007, The growing importance of wireless connectivity and several tuner design
projects prompted Knowledge Resources to substantially upgrade its test and
measurement capabilities. A new R&S FLS616 provides swept spectrum
analysis capabilities with tracking generator to 6GHz, while a Tektronix RTSA
provides real-time capture and complex triggering in the time- and frequency
domain up to 8GHz. This extension of the test-equipment park now enables
Knowledge Resources to offer design services for ISM-Band radio modems with
ASSP and FPGA based modulation engines.
Knowledge
Resources joins Lattice Leader program February
2007, In order to expand our portfolio of FPGA design capabilities, we joined
the Lattice LEADER program
and added a seat
of ISP Lever to our design stations.
LED
System v2.0 January
2007, Knowledge Resources completes the prototyping of the second generation
of LED components. New features include the ability to stack the modules in
two dimensions and form image (video) capable arrays. The processing accuracy
per pixel has been enhanced to 48 bit, therefore allowing future upgrades to
full color display while remaining backwards compatible to mono-chrome
display elements.
CAD
System Upgrade December
2006, in order to take full advantage of our 30” CAD Display, Knowledge
Resources upgraded to the latest version of Altium
designer. We can now support PCB and Schematic file-formats as far
back as Protel 98, and as current as Altium Designer
V6.7.
LED
Scroll Sign completed in record time August
2006 The first generation of high brightness, smart LED scroll displays has gone
from concept to installation in just eight weeks. The display features a
scalable distributed processing architecture that allows for virtually
limitless cascading of modules in 25cm increments. All the processing is
handled by Xilinx Spartan 3E FPGA’s. The protocol engine that communicates
with the host application on the news server was implemented on a pico-blaze
soft-processor embedded in the FPGA.
Xilinx
May
2006 Knowledge Resources is now officially part of the Xilinx Alliance
Program. See Knowledge Resources
for details.
Virtex4
Design completed March 2006, Knowledge Resources completes its first Virtex4
SX35 based design. The Xilinx FPGA performs real time dual HDTV+ (19201200p)
processing with advanced image scaling and pip capabilities inside a Samsung
N400 Display frame. The high bandwidth requirements of the frame buffers are
met by two 48bit DDRII memory banks operating at 180MHz clock and a combined
peak data throughput in excess of 4 GB/s. The 8Layer PCB with 100u trace and
blind laser-micro-vias performed to specification in its first incarnation.
