Our GEM parts list has been updated and now has over 27,000 parts listed. You can either download the entire GEM parts list or do a part number search for your specific part here on our site. These are categorized as either “Emulation Available”, or “Emulation Capable:” The Emulation Available status means that an emulated…

The Advanced Microcircuit Emulation (AME) program develops and proves manufacturing capability for form, fit, and function equivalent microcircuits for DLA, the Services, and the broader Defense community when DoD microcircuit needs cannot be met. New capability demonstration is proven through technology development, certified device level testing, and system insertion of demonstration devices into Weapon Systems.…

The B-2 Spirit first flew on July 17th, 1989, and is expected to remain operational until 2032, at which time its successor, the B-21, is anticipated to be fully fielded. Supporting an aircraft for multiple decades undoubtably means you will be faced with microcircuit obsolescence challenges. Northrop encountered such an issue with a multiplexer microcircuit…

We find that our customers are often not aware that they are using GEM parts. So, think before you respond.. Does your system use GEM microcircuits? At first, you may think not, but, are you procuring parts directly from DLA? If so, there is a chance they are coming from the GEM Program. When DLA…

One of the successes of the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Emulation programs is an application within the F-15 Eagle (WSDC 19F) Weapon System. The role is air superiority fight multi-role combat aircraft. The system was produced first in 1972 and continues into the present. July 1976 was the time of the first deployment. The United…

Throughout 2019 the Microcircuit Emulation Center Marketing team was pre-registering for events in 2020 at many of the trade shows and working group meetings that we typically frequent. Little did we know that almost every single one of these shows would be cancelled amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Many companies are in the same situation and…

The SRI Microcircuit Emulation Center (MEC) integrated circuit (IC) design & layout group has provided custom circuit solutions for over 30 years in support of the DLA Generalized Emulation of Microcircuits (GEM) and Advanced Microcircuit Emulation (AME) programs. The QML-certified center maintains a Quality Management Plan to conform to the requirements of MIL-PRF-38535 and MIL-STD-883…

SRI International Microcircuit Emulation Center will be at DMSMS 2019 in Phoenix, AZ over December 2-5, 2019. SRI International will be attending DMSMS 2019 conference to represent our Emulation Programs. The Generalized Emulation of Microcircuits (GEM) program and the Advanced Microcircuit Emulation (AME) program are Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) programs for which SRI International is…

SRI International Microcircuit Emulation Center will be at theF-15 Technical Coordination Program (TCP) World Wide Review (WWR) 2019 in Miramar Beach, FL over November 4-7, 2019. SRI International will be attending the F-15 TCP WWR 2019 conference to represent our Emulation Programs. The Generalized Emulation of Microcircuits (GEM) program and the Advanced Microcircuit Emulation (AME)…
