Rad-Hard Applications
Atmel gives customers access to the latest innovative commercial technologies by adapting them to rad-hard applications requirements.
The same manufacturing lines and masks are used to produce commercial and rad-hard devices. This dual-use approach allows highly competitive solutions and fast time-to-market, using leading edge technologies available within Atmel.
Our circuits are available in rad-hard versions that meet the stringent requirements (cumulated dose, latch-up and transient phenomena) of space applications. Design and manufacturing facilities reach international quality standards recognition and are QML-V certified.
System integration is a challenge for all our customers and Atmel offering is one of the most complete and cost-effective available on the market.
Second source of either obsoleted or existing FPGA codes are available through an "FPGA migration to ASIC" service.

The Atmel Aerospace ASIC offering is enriched with new libraries each time the latest generation technology is introduced. As an example, the ninth generation of Aerospace ASIC technologies, the ATC18RHA series, is a standard cells library characterized on the Atmel CMOS 0.18µm technology. Combined with these libraries are multiple options for embedding dedicated blocks, and a large choice of complex hermetic packages. A MPW (Multi Project Wafer) service allows the users to lower the NRE.
