What We Do
The Experts of High Reliability Electronics for Mission Critical Applications
Reliable MicroSystems engages with the DoD and the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) in support of the radiation-hardened, trusted integrated circuit (IC) supply-technology research and development (R&D). radiation effects analysis, IC modeling and simulation (M&S), IC testing, and radiation-hardened-by-design (RHBD) IC design.
We support customer-driven needs in:
-
The modeling of electronic circuit resiliency in hostile and mission-critical environments.
-
The development of operational models and simulation tools for microelectronic risk assessment and failure predictions.
-
The design of high-reliability and/or radiation-hardened application-specific integrated circuits.
-
The implementation of fault-tolerance techniques at the device, circuit, and system level.
​
Reliable MicroSystems represents human capital and technical expertise of over five decades of combined experience in the mil-aero ASIC enterprise, with targeted design experience at every major silicon technology node to 14nm and in all of the major EDA design flows.
Extended Expertise
Further experience includes unmatched expertise in the discovery, modeling, and mitigation of failures due to extrinsic radiation and reliability degradation in circuits operating in harsh environments – space, terrestrial, military, or commercial.
Mission
The Strategic Design Integrated Services Center at WestGate will provide the Department of Defense, and its Defense Industrial Base partners, with a single source where they can access fault tolerant, digital engineering capabilities and services, for emerging microelectronic technologies.
Vision
The Strategic Design Integrated Services Center at WestGate will distinguish itself as a center of excellence within the Defense Industrial Base ecosystem for reliable and fault tolerant models, custom design tools, design infrastructure, techniques, and training.
