Spirit Electronics Supports Disrupted ASIC Programs Amidst Foundry Consolidations
March 6, 2024 | Spirit ElectronicsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Spirit Electronics, a distributor and outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) provider, offers support for Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) with full screen and qualification for military and space applications. Current foundry consolidation is leaving customers with last time buys or limited access to support their ASICs. Spirit can help them avoid ASIC program disruption and loss.
“Spirit Electronics is here to offer support for redesign if needed (meaning customers without a GDS2 or RTL files from their current provider),” says Spirit CEO Marti McCurdy. “We can port this over to a Texas Instruments foundry on very similar technology nodes and processes.”
Spirit is offering full-turnkey, vertically integrated services for finished goods for Space or Military qualified parts, including:
- Design: Analog, Digital, Mixed Signal and RF
- Foundry Services at Texas Instruments (TI) or other wafer foundries by customer request
- Package assembly
- Electrical test program development
- Screening
- Qualification
- Radiation Testing
- DPA (Device Physical Analysis)
- Delivery – fully qualified drop-in replacement for current ASICs.
Spirit Electronics offers foundry services supporting U.S.-based manufacturing for analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits. Spirit’s foundry access includes 45- to 130-nm technology nodes in 300 mm wafer fabs. With corporate consolidation and long-lead-time pressures demanding greater capacity from existing fabs, Spirit’s foundry services open an accessible supply chain channel for ASIC manufacturing.
Spirit recently added semiconductor veteran Dr. Naveed Sherwani to its engineering team in support of their ASIC product enablement programs. Spirit is committed to providing US Sourced, Made in the USA ASICs that support legacy replacement and advanced solutions.
