Long-term #ASIC support is a boon in industries like aerospace and defense, where technology has a much longer life than consumer and commercial electronics. Where commercial manufacturers expect rapid release of leading-edge technology, legacy technology in avionics, communications and satellite systems often requires decades of program support. #spiritelectronics #aerospaceanddefense #semiconductor #azbusiness

Pleased to share an article I wrote for Aviation Week Network about the $1.5 billion in funding that GlobalFoundries (GF) is receiving through the U.S. CHIPS and Science Act that will be used to manufacture secure chips in New York State and Vermont for A&D and other crucial markets. Excerpts below: Malta, New York-based GF is the first semiconductor pure play foundry to receive an award of this size from the CHIPS and Science Act, which aims to bulwark domestic semiconductor manufacturing, supply chains and national security. A key purpose of the award is to fund construction of a new state-of-the-art fab (semiconductor production facility) on GF’s Malta campus to meet expected customer demand for domestically manufactured essential chips for aerospace, defense, artificial intelligence and the automotive sector. The funding will also support modernization of GF’s longest continuously operated fab in Essex Junction, Vermont, which is set to become the first domestic facility capable of high-volume manufacturing of next-generation gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductors. GaN semiconductors, known for their superior switching speed and thermal conductivity, are used in active, electronically scanned array radars and electronic warfare systems. GaN “is foundational to nearly all the cutting-edge defense technology that we produce,” Colin Whelan, president of advanced technology at RTX, the world’s leading manufacturer of military-grade GaN, said in January 2023. In November 2023, RTX was awarded a four-year, $15 million contract from DARPA to boost the electronic capability of radio frequency sensors with high-power-density GaN transistors. Lockheed Martin CEO Jim Taiclet said in the news release that the company is “proud of our strategic partnership with GlobalFoundries to help increase access to domestically produced microelectronics–a true national security imperative.” For the Pentagon, it has been a long-running challenge to persuade companies to keep producing old technology to support legacy chips with low profit margins. While consumer electronics and data centers generally use advanced semiconductors, defense systems designed decades ago require older chips when they are repaired. #aerospace #defense #globalfoundries #lockheedmartin #gallium #galliumnitride #semiconductor #supplychain #industrialpolicy #military #nationalsecurity #aviation #departmentofdefense #rtx #chipsact https://lnkd.in/eTEFky5G

Filtronic are tchnology leaders with the Cerus, solid state power amplifier (SSPA). The 71-76GHz and 81-86GHz boost power amplifiers from Filtronic, delivers best in class transmit power, enabling extended link distances for high-capacity E-band point-to-point, HAPS and Satellite applications. A solid state power amplifier (SSPA) converts a low-power radio frequency signal to a higher power one. When working with RF signals, especially at the higher frequency mmWave bands, voltage levels can be extremely low. An RF power amplifier is a circuit block that serves to increase the amplitude, power output, or drive capacity of an RF signal. Filtronic’s Cerus is a series of E-Band (71 to 76 GHz) power amplifiers for point-to-point applications. Ideal for military or commercial applications with excellent SWAP-C (low size, weight and high power - low cost) perfect for airborne & non-terrestrial applications. Cerus amplifiers are available in 1, 4, 8 and 32 - way configurations and deliver unparalleled performance for long range E-Band communications. These amplifiers provide an output power of up to 35 dBm with a small signal gain of over 20 dB. Cerus key facts: >20dB gain, Saturated powers up to >+43dBm (Cerus 32) Suitable for military or commercial applications and Low SWAP-C for aerospace applications #Satellite2024 #defenseindustry #tradeshows #exhibits #event #washingtondcevents #spaceindustry #spaceinnovation #satcom #satellitecommunications #communications #technology #defensetechnology #military #usnavy #usmc #uscg #rotc
