Orchid Technologies was selected to develop a High Reliability, Ruggedized Dual Output Power Supply for use in demanding avionics applications. Optimization of Power Supply size and weight were critical to the design's success. Working closely with our component vendors, Orchid crafted a proven 150,000 Hour MTBF solution.

Maintainability, rapid field replacement, and light weight requirements
Orchid Technologies was selected to update the electronics design of the Precision LCR Instrument. Accurate to 0.05%, the original 1988 instrument design was well executed. However, vintage 1980's state of the art electronic components were going 'end-of-life' at an alarming rate. Orchid studied the design and operation of the existing equipment. We generated a detailed development plan proposing
Orchid Technologies was selected to develop a multi-channel data logging cockpit communications system. Supporting up to four microphones, two NTSC video channels, a variety of general purpose I/O with daylight visible LED enunciators was essential. Ruggedized circuit board design techniques were employed to make this compact piece of avionics gear flight-ready.

Shrinking product development cycles coupled with demanding product requirements and increasingly complex design implementations can overwhelm a design team. The technical risk of employing new, complex, high-speed processor technology can often deter a design group from incorporating new technology in their product designs.
