About

Infineon is a leader in high-reliability and rad hard power solutions designed for high performance and longevity in mission-critical applications for space, aerospace/defense, medical and more.

Note that Infineon Technologies recently sold its HiRel DC-DC converter business to Micross. Read the press release.

HiRel products, unlike standard commercial ones, must undergo quality conformance testing at various levels to ensure product performance to specifications in the rugged conditions typical in space and defense applications. 

In the United States, the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is the controlling agency and has issued specifications that govern the quality conformance testing sequence performed on semiconductor devices and hybrid modules, namely MIL-PRF-19500/MIL-STD-750, MIL-PRF-38534/MIL-STD-883, and MIL-PRF-38535/MIL-STD-883.

Infineon's IR HiRel-branded rad hard ICs are available with the following quality conformance inspections (QCI) levels:

  • Class S-level equivalent microcircuits screened per MIL-PRF-38535 and MIL-STD-883 Test Methods 5004 and 5005, manufactured and tested on a DLA certified production line. Class S-level part numbers have SCS suffixes
  • Class B-level equivalent microcircuits screened per MIL-PRF-38535 and MIL-STD-883 Test Methods 5004 and 5005, manufactured and tested on a DLA certified production line. Class B-level part numbers have SCB suffixes
  • Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) with no QCI have no suffix

Infineon has a long history serving the space industry. We understand the engineering and manufacturing requirements and challenges of designing for reliable performance in the extreme thermal, mechanical, and radiation environments of space.

For decades, customers have relied on our rad hard power solutions in thousands of mission-critical space, aerospace, and national security programs. Many of these spacecrafts are still in flight today.
