Space & Harsh Environment

Renesas' history and experience in the space and defense industries spans decades, beginning with the founding of Radiation, Inc. in 1950. Renesas leverages this experience to deliver efficient, thermally optimized, and reliable SMD, MIL-STD-883 (/883), and Class-V/Q products for the defense, high-reliability (Hi-Rel), and radiation-hardened (rad-hard) and space marketplaces.

Ultra-Reliable SMD, /883, and Class-V/Q Products

A major supplier to the military and aerospace industries, Renesas leverages extensive experience designing products to the highest standards of reliability and performance in challenging environments. Our products can be found in virtually every satellite launched into space.

Radiation Hardened: All Renesas radiation-hardened SMD products are MIL-PRF-38535/QML compliant and 100% burned in. A wide range of rad-hard and single-event effects (SEE) Class V (space-level) compliant products are available for space and harsh environment applications.
Radiation-Tolerant: Our radiation-tolerant (rad-tolerant) plastic-package ICs are designed to support the emerging field of small satellites that will provide solutions, such as high-speed Internet connections, to hundreds of millions of people in communities, governments, and businesses worldwide.
Defense & High-Reliability: We offer high-performance analog, digital, and power management products for military, aerospace, and other harsh environment applications. SMD products feature hermetic packages and are 100% burned in—with guaranteed performance from -55°C to +125°C and MIL-PRF-38535 compliance.
