Supported Architectures: PC/104 and PCI-104

Fully reconfigurable and field-programmable, CTI’s maximum performance FPGA computing modules save users time and money. Based on Virtex-5 and Spartan-3E FPGAs, FreeForm products provide a powerful, versatile FPGA platform for design flexibility and shorter development cycles.

When prototypes are needed in a hurry, FreeForm proves concepts quickly without breaking development budgets. Test your VHDL code/software on a known working platform without the hassle of first developing/ debugging your own hardware. Unlike typical development boards, FreeForm’s form factor as well as the hardware built around the FPGA, allows developers to go from prototype to field trials and/or production using off-the-shelf hardware.

Perfect for high speed, compute-intensive, real-time applications, FreeForm combats the most demanding design issues easily.
