SBIR-STTR Award

A 32-bit, low-power, microcontroller will be developed that operates over a -55C to +200C temperature range and is architected for next generation aerospace systems with an operational lifetime exceeding 10,000 hours. The technology and processes developed and demonstrated through this SBIR program can be rapidly applied to other integrated circuits with similar environmental and reliability requirements. This will enable the development of electronics that can support an all-electric aircraft.high temperature electronics,integrated circuits,microcontroller,Silicon on Insulator,SOI,electronics packaging,aerospace electronics,low cost microelectronics

The overall objective of this program is to develop an open platform of strategic radiation hardened Intellectual Property (IP) on the commercially available 45nm silicon on insulator (SOI) foundry technology from Global Foundries to enable development of application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), system on a chips (SoCs), and other custom integrated circuits. Trusted Semiconductor Solutions will develop a strategic radiation hardened digital library, latches and flip flops, memory bit cells, cache memory, phase locked loop (PLL), and a voltage reference IP. The rad hard IP will be validated in silicon through an IP test chip that will be radiation tested to strategic levels. This Phase II SBIR program focuses on the development of foundational IP and it sets the stage for future specialized IP development. Approved for Public Release | 21-MDA-11013 (19 Nov 21)
