Signum Systems designed and developed software and hardware development tools for the embedded market worldwide. The company was founded in 1979. Early on, we found ourselves squarely in the mainstream of the full-featured in-circuit emulator (ICEs) market, serving major of hard disk drive manufacturers and microprocessor makers. The best-selling of our products introduced in the last decade include affordable JTAG emulators for a large variety of the ARM, DSP and ARM-DSP hybrid microprocessors; processors, debuggers, software tools, and third-party compilers; flash memory programmers that run off the JTAGjet emulators; ARM remote debug interfaces and smart card test tools; smart card emulators, analyzers, and verification tools.
Signum’s state-of-the-art, user-friendly emulators were conceived, developed and manufactured entirely in the U.S.A. by the company’s expert engineering and production teams.
This customer focus has resulted in extremely reliable and usable ICEs as well as equally dependable free customer support. For years, our products and services have been turning even the most skeptical clients into trusting friends and faithful customers.
Signum’s three decades of broad experience in embedded applications, ICE design and software and hardware development, coupled with continued substantial R&D efforts, assure the firm’s prominent position among the producers of tools for the embedded development market.
In September 2011, Signum was acquired by IAR Systems AB, the world’s leading provider of software for programming of embedded systems. For the next 11 years Signum Systems was designing debug probes exclusively for IAR Systems until the parent company moved the R&D and production to Uppsala, Sweden at the end of 2022.
Currently, this web site is dedicated to sales and support of Signum’s legacy products so that our old customers continue to get support, replacement products and software.
