Historically, digital logic components have been more widely used in circuit design as compared to analog devices. This is still true today, but Analog microcircuit obsolescence is a concern nonetheless. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) reports that for QML components that have been identified as DMSMS, a significant portion are classified as analog. To address…

MIL-STD-883 is the US DoD standard for test methods for microcircuits. At more than 700 pages long, it covers a wide range of testing requirements from calibration and temperature requirements to the details of methods for internal inspection of microcircuits. In addition to general requirements, there are more than 100 specific test methods. The latest…

This was long overdue, but finally we have made the transition to a mobile-friendly website. Notice anything that can be improved? Let us know because we are always improving. Overall, we have made the design much more intuitive and useful for our end users.   CHECK US OUT ON ALL YOUR DEVICES Check us out…

The Microcircuit Emulation Team was awarded the “Supply Chain Improvement Award” at last year’s Defense Manufacturers Conference held in December 2017. This was in recognition of the AME Program’s efforts to re-establish design and manufacturing capability for Military grade 128 kb RAM/ROM microcircuits. This memory technology rapidly transitioned to production and is expected to support…
