The Brains Behind the Lens: Meet Focal Plane Interface Electronics (FPIE)
Ever wonder how we capture breathtaking images from deep space or achieve pinpoint Earth observations? High-performance sensors are crucial—but the real magic happens in between, thanks to Focal Plane Interface Electronics, or FPIE.
What Is FPIE?
Think of FPIE as the translator and guardian for your imaging sensor. It takes the faintest signals of light and turns them into clear, usable data—efficiently and reliably. And it does all this while surviving the harsh environment of space.
How Does FPIE Work?
High-Speed Signal Conversion: FPIE grabs analog signals from every pixel and digitizes them at lightning speed, preserving detail and reducing noise.
Real-Time, Intelligent Processing: Powered by adaptable FPGAs, FPIE can compress, filter, and analyze data instantly—so only the most important information gets sent back.
Built for Space: Our electronics are engineered to thrive in radiation, freezing temperatures, and intense vibration—keeping your mission on track.
Why FPIE? Because Good Enough Isn’t Enough
Modern sensors generate huge amounts of data, but bandwidth is limited. FPIE acts as your data gatekeeper, ensuring only the most valuable information is transmitted. It also works seamlessly with advanced cryocoolers to keep sensors performing at their best.
The Iris Edge: Innovation Without Compromise
At Iris Technology, we don’t just build electronics—we build trust. Our Sotira FPIE works with leading infrared sensors like Teledyne and Raytheon. It’s field-proven, customizable, and ready for any challenge—whether you’re mapping mineral dust from the ISS or exploring Europa’s icy surface.
Why Settle for Ordinary?
When your mission demands precision, reliability, and top-tier performance, FPIE delivers. It’s the silent powerhouse behind every pixel, turning faint signals into discoveries that push the boundaries of science.
