Case Study
Design and Precision in the Development of Main Module and Wi-Fi Module
End-to-end development, designing the modules’ hardware and software systems
In a fast-paced industry of manufacturing, precision and innovation are paramount. Recognizing this, a Singapore-based multinational technology company turned to Mindteck for their expertise in electronics and embedded design, to develop a main and Wi-Fi module with a specific form factor.
Approach
Understanding the Requirements, Tailoring Solutions
At Mindteck, the experts focussed on understanding the main and Wi-Fi module’s form factor specification and functionality requirements and making the modules as compact as possible. Their end-to-end development approach involved designing the modules’ hardware and software systems.
Solution
Engineering and Developing the Main and Wi-Fi Module
Mindteck’s team engineered and delivered a compact and efficient module.
Main Module Design
SoC-based architecture with a TI Sitara processor.
A dual-board solution (50 mm X 18.9 mm dimensions) comprising a power board and a processor board.
Booting options through uSD or eMMC, with uSD as the primary choice.
Integration of a BLE module for nearby device communication.
USB-powered with a PMIC chip for processor core and peripheral power
Wi-Fi Module Design
A compact router supporting dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz and 5GHz).
A mobile application to configure the Wi-Fi module.
Outcome
With Mindteck’s end-to-end development approach, the team designed and developed a two-board layer PCB design for the main module. The use of SoC modules enabled the team to develop a Wi-Fi router smaller than a pen drive, compact yet packed with advanced features in the smallest form factor.
