FPGA Solutions

These PMC COTS products were originally designed with typical high-performance military applications like radar, sonar, digital radio, direction finding and others in mind.

The product range includes FPGA processing PMC modules as well as dual channel ADC and DAC PMC modules. This technology can also be applied to commercial applications that require high-speed data sampling and FFT and other processing functions.

We also supply a complete FPGA Processing Platform including high speed ADCs and DACs,
Stratix II FPGAs, StarFabric network, Single Board Computer and Rack plus Training.
