2001-2002, customer: joint project, 1 developer
result: 5 samples were sold
OS: Windows; tools: Orcad

USB2.0 and USB1.1 to mini-ATA/ATAPI boards are developed (2.5” form-factor). Ready reference design of USB MC supplier (Cypress, CA) was improved. PCB (69x27mm, height is 9mm including board and chips) is designed and is manufactured. Cypress supplied firmware was used. USB2.0 pocket hard drive is formed as final product for HDD with height of 9,5mm (titanic black box). 5V x 800mA power unit was designed and included.

1991-1992, joint project: with Production Cooperative “Informtechnika”, 1 developer
result: sold 5 boards
OS/Hardware: DOS/PC/designed ISA boar; languages: C; tools: TC 2.0, oscilloscope

Developed board grabs composite video signal with 12MHz/8bits sampling. Data was written directly to PC RAM using Master mode of ISA bus. Board had about 40 logic DIPs and fast ADC.
Grabbed composite PAL signal data is decoded by software decoder to get color picture.
