The use of post-procurement processing to increase part reliability assurance, or “upgrading”, is driven by the need for state-of-the-art parts with short lead times. Upgrading is costly. Upgrading should only be done when lead-time and functionalit preclude buying the “Level-ready” equivalent. Cost benefits typically associated with COTS can only be realized if they do not…

The CHV1203-98F and CHV1206-98F are 2 fully integrated VCOs including negative resistor, varactors and buffer amplifiers. They exhibit high frequency stability and have been designed with space de-rating. Although designed for space, they are suitable for a wide range of applications including commercial communication systems. These circuits are manufactured using a 2µm InGaP HBT process.…

Integrated circuits transistors on some computer chips measure 45 nanometers (billionths of a meter) on a side. These chips have more than 100 million transistors. Since the 1960s, the semiconductor industry has managed to double the number of transistors on a chip every two years, a trend known as moore’s law. As the transistor count…
