FPGA Manager Enclustra’s FPGA Manager™ solution allows for easy and efficient data transfer between a host and a FPGA over different interface standards like USB 2.0/3.0, Gigabit Ethernet and PCI Express. More> Design Services Enclustra provides services covering the whole range of FPGA-based system development: From high-speed hardware or HDL firmware through to prototype production. More> Drive ControllerThe Universal Drive Controller IP core enables the independent position and/or velocity control of up to 8 DC, BLDC or stepper motors directly from the SoC/FPGA. Optimized for superior performance and lowest total solution cost. More> Stream Buffer ControllerThe Stream Buffer Controller IP Core implements a versatile Stream to Memory Mapped DMA bridge with 16 independent streams. The IP core allows data buffering in an external memory device to provide virtual FIFO capability with up to 4 GB memory size. More> Display ControllerThe Display Controller IP Core enables the easy addition of a display to existing or future FPGA designs, allowing the system designer to focus on the main application instead of dealing with display control issues.
