The electronics laboratory is well equipped for design and manufacturing of electronic circuitry. Especially in microprocessor and FPGA based system development and in design of analog and digital breadboards there is a long-lasting experience.
The electronics lab at BIRA-IASB
Workstations with Computer Aided Design tools, such as ZUKEN CR-5000 PCB, for schematic entry and printed circuit board design are available.

Design and board lay-out files can be transferred rapidly to printed circuit manufacturers for the construction of the components. But prototype boards and small series of engineering type boards can also be constructed in-house.
Measurement equipment such as analog and digital oscilloscopes and logic analyzers are available to test the designed components.
Solder stations for regular and surface mount devices (SMD) are available as well as a pick and place tool and reflow oven for SMD.
Soldering infrastructure
The lab is further specialized in the design of code (e.g; VHDL) for embedded systems like processors, FPGA's, microcontrollers, etc.
