Our customers can prototype their systems using any ICs in commercial plastic packages from any IC manufacturer.  Once the designs have been proven for suitable performance, we can then selectively replace the ICs in the design with production volumes of Environmentally Hardened versions of the same ICs having identical lead footprints which can replace the plastic ICs on the same boards without a change in lead footprint.

 

In this manner, the system survivability is increased by more than 250X for elevated temperature operation above 175°C.
