About Danville Signal
Danville Signal Processing, Inc. is a design and manufacturing company providing custom and semi-custom Digital Signal Processing Systems for the professional audio and acoustics/vibration instrumentation markets. We are experts in the design, creation and integration of flexible, modular development and production boards, providing turnkey DSP solutions for our customers. Our platforms deliver audiophile performance, featuring carefully selected state-of-the-art components from Analog Devices, XMOS, AKM and Wolfson.
We are specialists in the board design and layout of systems utilizing a variety of state-of the art components including DSPs, microcontrollers, FPGAs and associated memory and I/O technology. Complementing our core technology base in these areas, we have developed strong relationships with leading hardware and software vendors. We are third party partners with several chip and technology providers, including Analog Devices, DSP Concepts, XMOS, Altera and Summit Wireless.
We take the complexity out of designing sophisticated products. Today’s DSPs and other state-of -the-art components are extremely powerful, but they come at a price: they are often extremely difficult to design onto a board. Complex routing, signal integrity issues, controlled impedances, BGAs, multiple layer I/O paths, etc., all combine to make the utilization of the features of powerful chips challenging. We have significant experience with designing complex, multi-layer processing boards, so all you need to worry about is integration.
Our products are not just prototyping boards, they are complete hardware solutions delivering an optimized development platform for your designs and a production ready module for manufacturing. In addition, many of our SHARC-based DSP designs can include a custom version of DSP Concept’s Audio Weaver software for development, test and deployment of audio algorithms.
Given our expertise, our understanding of industry applications and our agility in developing solution sets, we are able to quickly provide our customers in a wide variety of industries with the solutions they need.
These solutions include:
•Turnkey Design & Manufacturing for OEMs/ODMs
•DSP and FPGA combination solutions
•High Performance Audio Systems
•COTS DSP Boards and I/O Modules
•Custom board solutions
