SRI International Microcircuit Emulation Center will be at GOMACTech 2019 in Albuquerque, NM over March 25-28, 2019. SRI International will be attending the GOMACTech Conference mainly to represent our AME Program. Visit SRI International and find out about our solutions and capabilities for diminishing manufacturing sources and material shortages in the semiconductor industry. We offer…

SRI International Microcircuit Emulation Center will be at Dixie Crow 2019 in Warner Robbins, GA over March 24-27, 2019. SRI International will be attending the Dixie Crow Symposium to represent our GEM Program and the solutions we provide for legacy aircrafts at Warner Robbins AFB. Visit SRI International and find out about our solutions and…

The R&D efforts under the DLA sponsored Advanced Microcircuit Emulation (AME) Program at SRI International aims to reestablish a continuing manufacturing source for obsolete microcircuits. The AME Program develops next generation Emulation technologies. AME technology may be used to provide Form, Fit, and Function (FFF) solutions at the digital component level. Once a baseline capability…

Finding the part you need just got easier. We have recently added nearly four hundred new part numbers to the GEM parts list. That means when we can Emulate a part you need, you should be able to find it on our website. However, there are certain cases where we can Emulate a part not…

We are often asked, “Does the GEM program compete with other microcircuit distributors or manufacturers?” Well, as a Government funded program GEM does not compete with any other accepted source(s).   THE SHORT ANSWER No. THE LONG ANSWER Still no, but here are some details: In 1997, DLA entered into an agreement with the Semiconductor…

SRI International Microcircuit Emulation Center will be at DMC/DMSMS 2018 in Nashville, TN over December 3-6, 2018. SRI International will be attending the Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) Trade show to represent GEM and AME. Visit SRI International and find out about our solutions and capabilities for diminishing manufacturing sources and material shortages…

The B1-B is considered the backbone bomber for the Air Force. It is a long-range, multi-role, heavy bomber aircraft, that happens to carry the largest payload of both guided and unguided munitions in the entire US Air Force inventory. Nicknamed “The Bone” it has been in service now for over thirty years (first delivery in…

We are often asked if we have published data sheets for our GEM parts. We do not offer “Semiconductor Data Book” products per se. Rather, every Emulated device is specifically targeted to a specific military drawing or user specification (procurement specification). WHERE CAN YOU GET YOUR CATALOG? All GEM parts are shipped with a certificate…

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and the Advanced Microcircuit Emulation Program (AME) of SRI International is in the process of studying foundational technology for analog base arrays. A NUMBER OF TEST ARRAYS TARGETING DIFFERENT PROCESS TECHNOLOGIES WERE DESIGNED The goal of which was to fabricate, assemble, test and use this information to build and optimize…

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and the Advanced Microcircuit Emulation Program (AME) of SRI International is in the process of studying foundational technology for analog base arrays. WHAT IS A BASE ARRAY? We have a page about it, but to restate: SRI International uses a split manufacturing process, in which wafer lots are processed through…
