What is Sigstream?

Sigstream is an electrical engineering firm specializing in the implementation of digital signal processing algorithms on FPGAs. But that's not the whole story. Sigstream has a purpose and it's not just about us. It's about you too. We want to make your work easier. As the saying goes, "Hardware is Hard". We know this, and you know this. We can help you with something we're good at.

How we can help you.

The complexity of real world designs is continually increasing. Engineers are faced with heterogeneous architectures, massive FPGAs, complex software/hardware interfaces, larger product requirements, and a reduced time to market. That is a lot of complexity to deal with. Outsourcing some of the work to core providers is one approach to reducing that complexity, but in many cases employing those cores requires a learning curve and significant configuration on your end. You might have to read a large complicated datasheet, re-configure the core, adhere to overly restrictive license terms, navigate multiple levels of sales. And you probably don't get the source code, so that limits the tools you can use.

We saw an opportunity for improvement...

What sets Sigstream apart:

  • Our cores are fully customized and available for download within minutes. You don't need to configure them or add filter coefficients. They are delivered ready to use.

  • Our cores are designed through this web site. You don't need to learn additional tools.

  • Our cores are delivered as commented source code. Source code is easier to deal with and has advantages that binary forms do not.

  • Our cores have simple interfaces that are easy to drop into your design.

  • Our datasheets are simple, descriptive, and specific to your customization requirements.

  • Every customized core is tested prior to delivery. You can see the results clearly within the datasheet prior to purchase. You don't have to wonder if you have configured the core correctly.

  • Our online design and purchasing process reduces our operating costs by elimating the need for sales representatives. This allows us to deliver high-performance FPGA solutions to our customers at a reasonable cost.

  • All of our cores come with simple license terms.

We look forward to providing you with customized FPGA solutions!
