Services by xFace
xFace supports the development of embedded systems
xFace offers contracting services for creating sophisticated digital systems.
From ideas to embedded systems
xFace is a technology-oriented development partner to turn innovative product ideas into working embedded systems. xFace helps to clarify the technological approach (specification), to dissect the problem into hardware and software challenges, and to create and integrate these components.Intellectual property (IP) modules
xFace develops customized digital hardware modules for application in scientific systems, in automotive environments, in communication systems, and medical devices. xFace is specialist for optimizing digital circuits. xFace applies a strict design methodology to guarantee the desired functionality and to assure system constraints like circuit complexity, performance, and low power consumption.
