High Speed Acquisition & Processing Modules

The challenge

FPGAs, MPSoCs, and GPUs are powerful solutions for high-tech systems that require data processing at very high speeds with minimal latencies. These programmable processors combine the speed of hardware with the flexibility of software.

However, how do you choose from the many manufacturer-dependent solutions? How do you integrate the processor on the PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly) and within the module? What are the implications of your choice for power consumption, heat generation, costs, and future availability? Is your development team capable of making these considerations for the future success of your product?

The solution

At Sioux, we view the development of high-speed modules as a systems discipline. Our advice for your choice is based on a careful balance of both technical and economic factors.

Our high-speed competence team specializes in solutions from multiple manufacturers. We continuously work on improving our tooling and actively invest in expanding our knowledge of hardware and software. This includes continuous integration, repeatability, and reusability, with automated tests running every night. We reuse building blocks for digital logic, ensuring high quality and predictable rapid development.

We actively explore solutions such as RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) and various hardware topologies. We design the architecture, program the processing logic, and develop the module with proper heat dissipation and cost-effectiveness. We have experience in various applications, including e-beam data processing for wafer inspections, machine vision for robot control, RF reception for radar applications, and high-speed motion control for semiconductor component production lines.
