Partnering with Teledyne SP Devices means you are also collaborating with Teledyne Technologies. This ensures access to the latest products, technologies, and solutions, along with the stability and reliability of a major supplier and a long-term partnership.

Our product roadmap is designed to deliver tangible and proven value. Our team of signal processing experts, applications specialists, and support staff work closely with customers to develop local engineering contacts, identify solutions, provide training, and facilitate integration milestones.

The open architecture allows customers to access the onboard field-programmable gate array (FPGA) for custom real-time signal processing.
We offer custom engineering services to our original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers, including design and integration services. Every aspect of our products can be customized, including software, firmware, and hardware, enabling our OEM customers to focus on their value-added activities.
Our applications team, part of our R&D organization, provides signal processing expertise and domain knowledge. They collaborate closely with customers during the design-in phase to meet integration milestones and accelerate time to market.
Our in-house support group comprises experienced developers who work in close collaboration with our R&D team. They are directly involved in planning in-house R&D resources and can escalate prioritized support cases for timely resolution. We pride ourselves on providing prompt response times to our customers.

While our digitizers already offer a wide range of features, specific customer requirements may necessitate modifications. This is where ADQ Design Services come into play. Whether it's a minor software adjustment or a major hardware redesign, our engineers are dedicated to ensuring the success of your project. The design services typically provided under the ADQ Design Service program include:

Software application development
FPGA firmware development
Modification of existing digitizer platforms
Full-custom development of test and measurement equipment

A software development kit (SDK) is provided free of charge when purchasing a digitizer from SP Devices. The SDK supports several programming languages and allows for easy integration of the digitizer into your application. Even so, relying on the expertise of the authors of the SDK is both cost effective and convenient. Through our software services we often provide customized low level drivers, specialized graphical user interfaces, integration support and more.

You do not need to have knowledge in FPGAs to be able to use digitizers from SP Devices. After all, the digitizer should serve as a tool that enables you to capture the data that you need without forcing you to understand all of the digitizer internals. Nevertheless, today’s FPGAs offer massive parallelism and extreme calculation power which can significantly ease the burden of your host PC. Moving calculation intensive parts to the FPGA can lead to several orders of magnitude speed-up compared to the PC alone. Through our membership in the Xilinx Alliance Program we offer you highly skilled FPGA development engineers that will help you implementing optimized averagers, filters, FFTs and any other DSP blocks that you might require.

We urge you to let us know if you are lacking details on our existing digitizers, and we are open to making modifications based on your requirements. Previously implemented customer specific modifications include adding additional input channels, increasing the on-board memory size, customizing analog front-ends and more.

For optimized systems performance, SP Devices offers custom backplane development. Integrating a digitizer system into a limited physical volume is challenging, but we can help you by developing a tailored solution including backplane hardware, systems integration and data transfer optimization. One reference customer for custom backplanes is the German Aerospace Center (DLR), where tough volume constraints required innovative design. Click here to read more about the project with DLR.

Our existing portfolio of digitizers and corresponding FPGA IP libraries allows us to deliver full-custom designs with proven performance and short time-to-market. Through design re-use, SP Devices is able to offer cost effective system solutions that span a wide variety of application areas. Current full-custom customers include well-renowned aerospace companies, major military contractors, makers of medical equipment and world leading test and measurement companies
