High-Reliability Microcontrollers and Microprocessors

High-Reliability MCUs and MPUs for Aerospace and Defense Applications


Our high-reliability microcontrollers (MCUs) provide consistent performance in extreme temperatures of −55°C to +125°C. These rugged MCUs for mission-critical applications are resistant to shock, vibration and humidity. Manufactured in a single fab with dedicated wafer lots, they offer full traceability via Single-Lot Date Codes (SLDC). Our high-reliability MCUs go through extensive qualification, such as Highly Accelerated Stress Test (HAST), life tests and temperature cycling, to offer you trusted performance with full transparency.
