Electronic Systems

We design customised electronic systems for various fields of application, integrating hardware and firmware design with all testing activities, through to the delivery of a complete, validated system.

What we do

We design and develop complex electronic systems, handling the entire development cycle: definition of hardware and firmware specifications, structuring of the hardware architecture, design of schematics and master PCBs, firmware writing, complete testing. Compolab provides:
  • design of analogue, digital and mixed-signal electronic boards;
  • development of embedded systems and control devices;
  • integration of sensors, actuators and electronic subsystems;
  • design of power supply and power management systems;
  • support for testing, validation and industrialisation phases.
We work both on new products and on evolutions, revamping and optimisation of existing solutions, in industrial contexts that require high reliability, operational continuity and regulatory compliance.

How we work

Compolab supports clients from the earliest phases and follows the entire system development cycle: from the definition of requirements through to validation and production support. Our work follows a structured cycle that can be adapted to the specific characteristics of each project.

How We Work - COMPOLAB
01

Analysis of requirements and the application context

We analyze the functional, performance, and environmental needs of the electronic system.

Learn more

We analyze the functional, performance, and environmental needs of the electronic system, assessing application and process requirements, operating conditions and environmental constraints, and reliability, safety, and compliance requirements.

02

Definition of the electronic architecture

We design the architecture to ensure performance, scalability, and robustness.

Learn more

We design the architecture of the electronic system, defining the hardware topology, technology and component choices, and interfaces with electrical, mechanical, and software systems. The goal is to ensure performance, scalability, and robustness.

03

Detailed hardware design

Circuit schematics, PCB layout, and power management.

Learn more

We develop the complete electronic design: circuit schematics and PCB layout, design of analog and digital circuits, and power supply and power management.

04

Firmware development and hardware-software integration

Embedded firmware and control logic integrated with the hardware.

Learn more

We create embedded firmware and control logic, ensuring functional integration with the hardware, management of peripherals and communications, and system stability and reliability.

05

Testing, validation, and pre-compliance

Functional checks, reliability, and certification support.

Learn more

We support the verification phases of the electronic system with functional and reliability testing, preliminary EMC checks, and support for pre-compliance and certification.

06

Industrialization and ongoing support

Production support, optimization, and product evolution.

Learn more

We support the client through the subsequent phases: production support, design optimization, and product evolutions and updates.

Our expertise

Compolab’s expertise in electronic design translates into concrete operational capabilities, applied to the development of devices and systems intended for industry and the defence, medical and automotive sectors.
