The HX5000 is a 12-million gate ASIC specifically designed for radiation-tolerant and radiation-hardened applications.
The HX5000 can be configured by customers using the Synopsys Design Automation Galaxy ASIC design software to integrate digital logic, microcontrollers, multichannel multigigabit per second communication port and static memory functions onto a single integrated circuit.
The HXSRO1608 is a 16Mbit SRAM that provides a memory function four times the memory density than earlier SRAM components.
The HXSRO1608 features 60% lower power and requires 75% less circuit board space than previous available 5V SRAM products.
The new SRAM can be used for new system designs or to replace older SRAM functions.
The HXNVO100 is the first nonvolatile magnetic RAM (MRAM) to combine SOI CMOS technology with magnetic thin films.
The HXNVO100 is a 1Mbit MRAM for strategic space electronics applications and can be used as a replacement for plated wire memory, as the program memory function.
The RHPPC processor is a single-package, radiation-hardened component for space borne electronic systems based on Freescale's 603e processor.
Applications include single board computers that manage data processing, and controls on satellites and launch vehicles.
All the new components are produced at Honeywell's Trusted Foundry in Plymouth, Minnesota.
Honeywell is one of just two radiation-hardened wafer foundries in the USA to earn the Department of Defense's Accreditation of Trust.
The accreditation applies to the company's 0.15, 0.35 and 0.8um silicon wafer processes.
