We build reconfigurable hardware platforms that give your instruments real-time processing, sub-microsecond latency, and the flexibility to evolve with your research.
Four pillars that let you ship faster without compromising on performance or control.
Start from a proven FPGA SoC module. Skip months of board-level bring-up and focus on your application logic from day one.
Run a full Linux environment on-chip: filesystem, networking, user management. Write your application in C, Python, or any language you prefer.
Compose your system from reusable IP cores. Swap, extend, or add custom blocks without redesigning the full signal chain.
Deterministic, low-latency processing where it matters. FPGA fabric handles the time-critical path while Linux manages the rest.
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.

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