Aerospace & Defense

Chips used in military, aviation and space applications. These often must be radiation-hardened (for space environments) or extreme temperature tolerant. Examples: radiation-hardened FPGAs and processors for satellites, radar signal processors, secure cryptographic ICs, and sensor interface chips for aircraft and missiles. Long product life-cycles and rigorous testing are characteristic of this segment.
