Best-in-Class Rad-Hard Devices from STMicroelectronics Boast Qualification for Use in U.S. Projects

ST has supported European aerospace applications since 1977, having been qualified by the European Space Agency since the Agency’s inception. It continues to lead the performance enhancement of rad-hard products, as demonstrated with the current launch.

ST is now bringing into the JANS system the innovation released last year within the ESCC (European Space Components Coordination) program. Called JANSR+, the innovation consists of a series of 100krad JANSR high-dose-rate bipolar transistors with an additional 100krad low-dose-rate (100 mrad/s) test performed on each wafer.

“ST has been providing rad-hard bipolar transistors to the European aerospace industry for over 35 years and our products have accumulated hundreds of millions of flying hours,” said Mario Aleo, group vice president and general manager, Power Transistor Division, STMicroelectronics. “With the DLA qualification, we are bringing to our U.S. customers the unrivaled performances through the best-in-class radiation hardness achieved with our specifically adjusted aerospace technology and design.”
