Sandia National Laboratories' structured Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) provides a radiation-hardened, via-configurable implementation platform with ASIC-like performance. Structured ASICs enable rapid turn-around, lower Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) and development costs. Pre-qualified base arrays reduce development risk, while open architecture minimizes Diminishing Manufacturing Sources (DMS) issues. Enables safe, secure, user-defined trusted hardware, and the regular, fabric-like structure enhances verifiability of trusted parts.
Special Features
- Metal-via configurable, fabric-like structure using ViASIC™ ViaMask Technology.
- Four Power-Quadrants with specialized interface circuits that allow up to four independent power supplies for power sequencing and redundancy operations.
- Unused transistors and circuits are isolated from power and ground to minimize power consumption, static current and photocurrent.
- On-package decoupling capacitors.
Applications include:
- Command & Control
- Instrumentation
- Sensor Monitoring
- Obsolescent Parts & FPGA Emulation
- Rad-hard environment operations
- High-Reliability Systems
Sandia National Laboratories has historically focused on high-reliability custom solutions for high-consequence applications. Today Sandia is a DoD Category 1A Accredited Supplier of both "trusted design and foundry services” with an efficient and disciplined ISO 9001 certified process optimized for high-mix low-volume custom radiation-hardened, digital, analog and mixed-signal ASICs. With in-house capabilities in packaging, test, failure analysis and reliability, Sandia offers a total supply-chain solution for high-reliability custom microelectronics for expanding national security applications.
