Our specialization is battery powered device design, specifically focusing on DC-DC power conversion circuitry and Li-ion battery power management systems. In addition to Microchip PIC programming, we are capable and experienced in product design, PCB layout, prototype development and completed product manufacturing. We have the facilities to complete small-scale production runs in-house, and a talented network of contacts to handle medium to large-scale orders.

We've developed a multi-device PIC programming system that significantly speeds up the programming and testing process. We assume control of the Microchip PM3 programmer over ICSP which allows us to program up to 5 PICs in sequence without the need for user intervention.

With a broad code library and an extremely rigorous code development procedure, our modular PIC programs are efficiently designed and readily meet the client's requirements. The PIC16 MCU family of microcontrollers is typically programmed in Assembly Language, whereas we tend to use C for the PIC18 MCU family.

We have experience programming USB, PS/2, RS232, one-wire, I²C and SMBus interfaces, as well as multi-channel PWM code for servo control or LED fading applications.

Alti-tech Engineering is also pleased to offer production test equipment design and manufacturing services. From burn-in ovens to calibration rigs, we can build unique testing stations customized to meet your needs.

Our typical production test system consists of Ethernet-based Data Acquisition units (DAQ) controlled via a Linux-based PC. As our custom applications are programmed in Perl - a cross-platform scripting language - you have the option of running tests on Windows or Linux operating systems. All our DAQ systems are then coupled with CNC-machined test jigs, pin-boards and custom-designed PCBs; we can assemble the test system as either a tabletop or free-standing unit based on your specifications. ADAM and Linux
Having trouble getting your ADAM unit to work in a Linux environment? Hanna has some tips for connecting the unit to your network and translating MODBUS commands over TCP/IP.
Check it out here.

Interfaces for SMBus, I²C, RS232, RS485, MODBUS and GPIB are also available. If you're looking for an easily programmable and powerful test system, contact us for more information.
