Electronics/FPGA Embedded Software Camera/Video Machine Vision Platforms
Electronics
BitSim NOW has specialists in both analogue and digital electronics. We have a long experience in programmable logic, PCIe buses and embedded processors. Within the analogue area we are very familiar with power supplies, transmission technologies, EMC and CCD/CMOS detectors.
BitSim NOW develops advanced electronic products that require tailor-made hardware. The demands for real-time properties and reliability are often high. We do everything from providing expertise advice to total responsibility for a product development from idea to serial product.
We use different schematic capture tools, simulation tools and programming languages on a daily basis, all according to customer demands. We also do the PCB layout for some of our PCBs. Besides electronic design, we also design the surrounding mechanics and device drivers.

We have a number of tools and instruments available to develop high-technological hardware with high quality. Examples of tools and instruments:
- Schematic capture tools: Altium, Orcad, Protel, PADS
- Layout tool: Altium
- All Intel/Altera FPGA tools as Quartus Pro/Prime, Altera QSys (System Integration Tool), Nios II (soft CPU core), Eclipse (C/C++)
- All Xilinx FPGA tools like Vivado and Vitis
- Tools for Microchip and Lattice FPGAs
- ModelSim Questa
- Mechanical CAD tool: SOLIDWORKS
- BitSim NOW has electronics lab areas, and has access to an EMC-lab
- Oscilloscopes, logic analysers, frequency counters, pulse generators, video generators, spectrum analyzer, IR camera, climate chambers, et cetera
Camera projects
BitSim NOW has participated in the development of a number of cameras of different kinds. See more at our Digital Cameras page.
NIMSES – a platform for evaluation of image sensors and ROICs
NIMSES is a general purpose platform for test and evaluation of FPA/ROIC/image sensors, for example IR-sensors (LWIR, HWIR, SWIR). The system can be configured for ROIC-circuits and sensors from different manufacturers, e.g. FLIR and Xenics. NIMSES may be adapted to meet customer requirements, for example may the analog interface or the image processing be optimized. BitSim NOW has effective resources for these kind of customizations. See more in our pdf brochure.
