Sheldon Instruments

Sheldon have been in the DSP, FPGA, DAQ and Analysis business for many years.

Sheldon Instruments understands developers need more than just an embedded real-time hardware supplier. So we developed the Sheldon Solution, which has been at the forefront of providing cutting edge systems with easy to implement turn-key software and service, since the early 1990’s.

The cost of these high end DSP FPGA and DAQ combo products is equivalent to buying a single high end DAQ card from some other manufacturers.

This is the Sheldon Solution. Their field tested software comes from years of embedded DSP and real time development. They have the knowledge and software platforms to help integrate their hardware into any project.

Sheldon Instruments offers a complete portfolio of hardware products for a wide spectrum of real time applications in measurement and digital control systems.
 
Their hardware range includes carrier boards that combine DSPs and FPGAs for various PCI/PCIExpress form factors such as slotted/desktop PCI/PCIe, PCI-104/PCIe-104, PMC/XMC, CompactPCI, as well as stand-alone embedded solutions. The DSP-FPGA carrier hardware is complemented by high performance analog and digital I/O modules as well as all necessary accessories like cables and terminal blocks.

All of our hardware products are supported by our unique software add-ons and libraries to complement traditional compilers/linkers using Visual Studio, OpenMP, OpenCL, CCS, and Python under Windows or Linux.

Sheldon Instruments now offers a variety of FPGA IP cores for several complex interfaces (PCIExpress, Serial Rapid IO, Conventional PCI, I2C, and SDRAM), and digital signal processing (1D/2D FFTs, Phase Correlation) supporting Lattice, Xilinx, and Altera platforms. For more demanding applications, Sheldon Instruments can custom-design the interface to fit your needs, or provide technical support for those designing their own interfaces.
