KirLab HIL

Awesome performance on your desk

100ns Step*

4ns Sampling

Speed King

Simulate circuits with steps as small as 100ns, no matter how many in parallel.
Digital inputs are sampled every 4ns for high-accuracy calculations.
Update the analog outputs at 1MSPS.
Collect all the data you want in the blink of an eye, thanks to its USB 3.1 Super Speed interface.
And all this from your desk, in a portable form factor that fits in the palm of your hand, with low power consumption and zero fan noise.

Model your system in full detail

Our innovative algorithm enables seamless integration of typical RLC branches, switches, and transformers, along with advanced components like motors, signal generators, and a wide array of digital signal processing. You will be able to model your design precisely using the schematic editor.

All the ports you need

KirLab HIL features a large number of ports, enough for almost any microcontroller to have all its pins connected.

 

40x Digital Bidirectional Ports

32x Analog Outputs, 16bits capable of 1MSPS*

8x Analog Inputs, 12 bits capable of 1MSPS*

Be in control

Easily create a monitor with the drag and drop designer.
With it you can modify simulation parameters and watch its behavior.
Besides, the whole design can be parametrized in separate files.

Analyze your experiments

Get logs of the system signals you want and analyze them with the integrated log viewer.
It is super smooth!

Automate tasks

Use the python library to run continuous integrations or generate test patterns.
With a concise synthaxis, you can create any imaginable scenario in seconds.
