DO MORE WITH SIDEKIQ™
Placekiq™ Mini PCIe
This integrated GPS receiver + clock/timing reference distribution solution pairs perfectly with embedded systems. Synchronize up to four external devices (such as Sidekiq™) with the common 40 MHz reference clock and PPS signal provided by Placekiq. Use a USB interface to control the card and access NMEA sentences from the GPS receiver.
Add SDR to Your System
With Sidekiq™, you can turn millions of host devices into RF processing systems. These tiny SDRs fit into standard Mini PCIe and M.2 slots and can be configured over a PCIe interface, making Sidekiq™ an easy addition to many off-the-shelf computing systems.
