Tecnofingers (TNFG), based in Valencia, Spain, has recently introduced a revolutionary modular system called **rhomb.io**, which empowers designers to rapidly create, design, and test their products. This innovative platform is transforming the way hardware and software are developed, especially for IoT applications where time-to-market and development costs are critical factors.
One of TNFG’s latest innovations is the **UOMIC Power Management ICs**, tailored for a wide range of applications. The challenge in IoT design lies in the need for semi-custom or fully customized solutions to meet evolving market demands. To address this, TNFG aims to simplify the design process by offering pre-installed components that allow for faster and more efficient product development.
Pelaez, Technical Director at TNFG, explains: “Imagine designing an SoC that needs to function reliably over many years. With rhomb.io, you can quickly build and test your design without starting from scratch. This approach is not only faster but also reduces the risk of errors and streamlines the entire development cycle.â€
Rhomb.io offers a vast library of ready-to-use components, including motherboards, processor cores, and functional modules. Designers can easily upgrade existing products by swapping in new components or reusing them in future projects. What sets rhomb.io apart is its open nature—design guides, schematics, and software libraries are all freely available, making it as easy to use as LEGO blocks. “Once you complete one product, you can replicate it proportionally,†Pelaez says. “This is the only system in the world that allows such seamless modularity.â€
In addition to its modular system, TNFG integrates key components from Maxim Integrated, including the **MAX30101** for pulse oximetry and heart rate sensing, the **MAX44005** for RGB color, temperature, and proximity detection, and the **MAX8814** for battery charging. These ICs provide essential functionality for smart wearables and other IoT devices.
The **UOMIC Power Management IC** further enhances the system by managing power distribution across the core processor, memory, and peripherals. It includes features like buck converters, LDOs, real-time clocks, backup battery chargers, and programmable interfaces, ensuring efficiency and reliability in every design.
“We offer 150 modules, 50 hybrid controller modules, and 50 processors,†Pelaez emphasizes. “Our customers have a broad range of options, and we’re always expanding our library to support innovation.â€
TNFG values not only the small size and performance of Maxim’s components but also the exceptional technical support provided throughout the development lifecycle. From the early stages of the company, the Maxim team offered full trust and guidance, helping TNFG achieve its goals.
Looking ahead, Pelaez is confident about the future. “The best path to success is continuous investment in R&D,†he says. “We’re constantly developing and improving our systems, and we expect a very productive year ahead.â€
