Case Study - Design of MICR board

Customer: IT major in USA
Technology: Embedded; Hardware design

The Customer

The customer is a worldwide information technology services and solutions company. Primary vertical markets for the customer worldwide include financial services, transportation, communications, media, commercial and public sectors, which includes federal government customers of the US government. The customer offers the broadest range of paper payment products - from compact-size branch units to high-speed transports that process up to 2,000 documents per minute.

The Challenge

The MICR board of a high-speed read machine had to be redesigned. The old board made use of around 13 DSPs, which had to be replaced by a single DSP.

The Solution

Tata Infotech designed and developed the new board with TM 1300 and ADSP 2192 to replace the 13 old DSPs using the TM1300 MICR Reader Board technology. The evaluation and selection of the DSPs was done at Tata Infotech.

The circuits were designed and put through the interfacing process along with the porting of the MINC to VHDL. Tata Infotech also executed the schematics and the PCB design for the project.

Benefits to the customer

• A more compact system
