Fast Analogue and digital I/O

We have many I/O modules that can be chosen for your system - ADCs, DACs at 100s of MHz, user configurable digital I/O, VHDL Intellectual property for imaging interfaces etc. They are designed to be general purpose and flexible to meet the needs of as many customers as possible. Some systems can be built from a single module, but others use the HEART module carriers to offer 400Mbytes/second real time data connections.

If you need something that you don't see here, you could design it yourself using the HERON specification or ask us - we may be working on something already or we may be able to propose another way of solving your problem.
