What TEDIEL does

TEDIEL S.r.l. is an Italian electronics company founded in 2019 and headquartered in Milan that designs and sells FPGA-based Time-to-Digital Converter (TDC) instruments and provides expert electronics consulting services. The company's core products are FELIX, a portable dual-channel TDC with USB-C plug-and-play connectivity, and LYNX, a higher-density 16/32-channel TDC with advanced external triggering and SuperSpeed USB 3. Both leverage proprietary asynchronous digital architectures implemented on modern FPGAs and SoCs to deliver time-measurement performance comparable to ASIC solutions, including 250 fs resolution (LSB), single-shot precision below 10 ps r.m.s., acquisition rates up to 200 Msps, and dead-time under 2.5 ns. FELIX specifically achieves 36.6 fs resolution with DNL below 0.8 ps and INL below 19 ps, and both products include a custom programmable threshold comparator supporting detectors such as SiPM, SPAD, PMT, and CDL.

The technology enables time-of-flight (ToF) measurements, time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC), time-of-flight laser ranging (ToFLR), and ToF positron emission tomography (ToF-PET), serving research institutions, healthcare and life sciences customers, and industrial electronics firms in aerospace, automotive, smart mobility, and photonics. Revenue is generated from two streams: hardware sales of TDC instruments priced via direct quote, and professional electronics consulting covering schematic design, PCB layout (RF, high-speed digital, power electronics), firmware/software development, and FPGA/programmable-logic implementation. TEDIEL distributes exclusively through direct sales via its website contact form, with a LinkedIn company page as the primary marketing channel and no disclosed resellers, distributors, or strategic partnerships.
