FPGA SoC solutions for instrumentation

We build reconfigurable hardware platforms that give your instruments real-time processing, sub-microsecond latency, and the flexibility to evolve with your research.

From validated module to production system

Four pillars that let you ship faster without compromising on performance or control.

Accelerated Development

Start from a proven FPGA SoC module. Skip months of board-level bring-up and focus on your application logic from day one.

🖥

Linux Interface

Run a full Linux environment on-chip: filesystem, networking, user management. Write your application in C, Python, or any language you prefer.

🧩

Lego Modularity

Compose your system from reusable IP cores. Swap, extend, or add custom blocks without redesigning the full signal chain.

🚀

Real-Time Performance

Deterministic, low-latency processing where it matters. FPGA fabric handles the time-critical path while Linux manages the rest.

Instruments deserve better control systems

Too many teams spend months wrestling with low-level hardware before they can even start working on the experiment that matters. We think that's backwards.

Fourier Instruments provides turnkey FPGA SoC platforms so you can focus on what you actually measure, control, and discover — not on writing yet another SPI driver.

Built by physicists, for physicists

We know your problems because we've had them ourselves — in the lab, on the bench, at 2 AM before a deadline.
