Custom Peripheral Creation Service
Today's microcontrollers come standard with powerful peripherals that assist the embedded design engineer in his work. However, sometimes a required function just simply isn't available from a semiconductor vendor. That's where Peripheral Dynamics is able to help. Using programmable logic chips, we are able to implement your desired functionality in a rapid time frame, putting the functionality that you need on your board at a relatively low design cost and low per-unit cost.
The peripherals we create can easily connect to your host by buses such as SPI (serial peripheral interface) for microcontroller applications, or AMBA/APB, Avalon, or Wishbone for SoC applications. Control is as simple as that of on-chip peripherals, giving you the speed and flexibility of design that you require. Implemented in industry-standard Verilog™ hardware-description language, your custom peripherals can be synthesized in nearly any programmable logic vendor's part -- providing multi-vendor purchasing options as well as a peripheral design that is not subject to end-of-life concerns.
A few ow the many custom peripheral options include:
Adding a programmable logic 'companion chip' to your on-board microcontroller is a great way to enhance your product's functionality while lowering per-unit cost. The simple diagram below illustrates the process of having a custom peripheral created:

A few ow the many custom peripheral options include:
- Video Stream Adjustment or Manipulation
- LED Billboards or Moving Displays
- High Count I/O or Multi-Sensor Applications
- Math Operation or Algorithm Acceleration
- Multiple PWM Channels
- High Speed Counting or Frequency Measurement

The process begins with a discussion of your functionality requirements. There is no obligation to proceed implied with this discussion, in fact we're only looking for those situations that are a win for both your company and ours. If it looks as though we can be a benefit to you, a no-obligation proposal is created, specifying the peripheral functionality, design timeline, design cost, target programmable device, and the method of functionality verification. Should you choose to accept our proposal, the diagram above illustrates the process flow to final customer acceptance. The numbers shown in percentages are the payment stages, designed to ensure satisfaction to the customer.
