AirBorn Electronics -- Custom design services
At the heart of any Technology product built today lies a circuit board.
AirBorn Electronics designs those ciruit boards, to bring your new product to life.
AirBorn Electronics design microcontroller circuitry and firmware for many industries - from Air conditioning to Weighscales. With custom designed products the ownership of the circuitry and software design are transferred to the customer upon payment. Our designs provide circuits, parts lists, PCB diagrams and source code in a complete documentation package.
How we, at AirBorn Electronics, do our job better -
Fixed price quotes Available. If a project consists of several interdependent job steps, the first stage(s) may be quoted and then the remainder of the project estimated. Delivery Typical simple embedded microprocessor products take, very roughly, 8-16 weeks from specification to finished prototypes. Complicated firmware may take longer. Quality An electronic design goes through a debugging stage - this is the main reason for building prototypes - during which any problems are fixed. Our aim is to deliver prototypes of a high enough standard that they are useable as production samples. 
Availability AirBorn Electronics runs projects in parallel. Our availability is not exclusive - we can start work when you are ready. Ownership Most of our projects transfer ownership of the PCB design and firmware to the customer upon final payment. With joint-venture and manufacture-only projects, the Intellectual Property remains with AirBorn Electronics. Confidentiality You may have us sign a confidentiality agreement contractually limiting our disclosure of information you supply to us, - the standard Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) used when larger companies subcontract designs to others. We prefer fair NDAs that cover documents specifically marked "confidential", and terminate at the end of the project with the option of customer asking for return of the documents. Anti-competitive protection can and should be achieved through copyright, registered design, patent and trademark. AirBorn Electronics can assist, if required, in design security by using copy resistant microcontrollers. AirBorn Electronics - the type of work we doMost of our work is subcontract to companies producing equipment that happens to use an electronic circuit board for part of its functionality. We design a whole range of different circuit boards, and designing those circuit boards is what we do well. Most of our clients specialize in making and selling products for particular niche markets - and that is what they do well. It makes a lot of sense for such a company to subcontract the design of the electronics part of a product to someone with the experience and expertise (like AirBorn).
One special line of design work we do is Serial Data Conversion units - manufacturing an interface to existing equipment or protocol. Sometimes the requirement is for Serial to Serial conversion (the unit pictured does this function), but more often one side is serial, and the other side is something special - e.g. a set of relays, a DTMF telephone dialling interface, or totalisator meters. The Units pictured are one of a line of standard hardware products we make - they are protocol converters. This particular D25-D25 converter fits in a standard inline case and supervises a modem. Custom units to manage protocol conversion are available to order. Also available Serial to parallel converter - program, circuit and assembler.

with up to 64kbyte of FLASH. The significant advantages of using this family of microcontrollers are their low unit price and the diversity of models available - many of which are second sourced supplied by alternative manufacturers.
