Liquid Instruments showcases hardware platform and generative HDL coding tool

At DesignCon 2026, Liquid Instruments displayed the Moku:Delta hardware platform and a new AI tool called Generative Instrumentation.

Moku:Delta is a meaningful hardware upgrade over its predecessor, featuring eight channels instead of four, a larger FPGA, improved analog input noise performance, and QSFP ports that support high-speed data streaming up to 80 Gbps. The device runs eight instruments simultaneously at 2 GHz, consolidating significant test-and-measurement capability into a single unit.

Generative Instrumentation is an AI-powered tool that writes HDL/Verilog code on behalf of the engineer, removing the steep learning curve traditionally associated with custom FPGA instrument development. Engineers describe what they need, the tool generates and compiles the code, and the entire process remains fully auditable in real time. Auto-generated plain-language documentation accompanies each build. Public release is slated for later this spring.
